I'm currently running a cannister that has:
a) Ceramic noodles & Coarse Sponge
b) Seachem Matrix & Medium Sponge
c) volcanic clay & Wool
d) activated carbon & Wool.
This unit does a great job but i've made it so each tray is pretty chockers with media too.

The other cannister is running:
a) Ceramic Noodles
b) Eheim Pro
c) Wool
This one also does a pretty nice job of cleaning that water. Again, all the tray pretty well packed to the brim.

Forgot to mention..i also have a small cannister that i have been running just coarse sponge, noodles, wool.

I've also found that this is a pretty good combo, but you really need to be pretty liberal on the wool in the final stage of filtration.
