A media filter is a type of filter utilizing a bed of sand, crushed granite or other material to filter water for drinking, Swimming Pools, aquaculture, irrigation, and other applications.
One design brings the water in the top of a container through a "header" which distributes the water evenly. The filter "media" start with fine sand on the top and then graduatingly coarser sand in a number of layers followed by gravel on the bottom, in gradually larger sizes. The top sand physically removes particles from the water. The job of the subsequent layers is to support the finer layer above and provide efficient drainage. (This answer is from wikipedia)

What can you use for media in your koi filter?
There are many different filter media commercially available. They range from fine fibrous wool type media through activated charcoal which both need to be replaced regularly to the various ceramic noodles and filter sponges that can be rinsed and reused many times. I prefer to use a mixture (layers) of several types of media including all the above in a power filter.

How do you prepare a fish tank filter?
If you have a power filter it should come with the required filter media. Firstly follow the directions on how to position the filter and where to place the media. If the aquarium is a planted one there is no need to do much other than turn it on because the plants will have some good aerobic bacteria that will end up lodged in the filter media where you want it. If the tank is a bare tank you will need to cycle the filter either by adding some old but freshly used filter media or purchasing some filter cycling bacteria at a pet shop. There is another more complicated method using Ammonia but I won't go into that here. If the filter is air as opposed to power driven, you can use whatever filter media is recommended by the pet shop and use the above techniques to cycle it.

How do you filter a fish tank?
That depends on the kind of filter you have. The best filter you can get is a power filter with compartments for different filter media. With one of these you can easily clean out one media at a time thus keeping the cycled bacteria in there. The worst filter of the lot which IMO should never be used, is an undergravel filter because it can not be serviced or cleaned at all. A filter should only be cleaned when the water flow is badly reduced. Only replace some of the media and only rinse loose rubbish off what you keep. The reason for this is to preserve the good Ammonia and Nitrite removing bacteria that have formed in the filter.
