Also, consider using Purigen as chemical media. I personally like it because I dont have to fill the filter baskets to the brim and this means improved flow. Stuff like Sera Siporax is reputedly better in terms of bio capacity/volume but it is generally considered that most externals have more capacity for bio filtration than would ever be necessary. I would say something like Ehfi mech pro and a layer of sponge for the mechanical, then whatever bio media you choose. As far as media for the new filter goes, the world is your Oyster. The lower your bioload the quicker you can do this. It uses the same Eheim 1060 pump that was. The water is pumped into the skimmer from a submersible Eheim 1260 pump that is in the tank. I would run them both for a month, then take increasing amounts of the media out of the Juwel over the next month. The only draw back is the noise - it is significantly louder that the Wisa, and at maximum output, it can not be used on a set up that is in a public area of the house. I can understand why you said that but I can appreciate why he wants to run them both. Not necessarily that practical since a Juwel internal filter works mainly with square sponges which dont really relate well to using in the new filter.
