Help with new planted 240 liters/60 g planted aquarium

Since the tank is bigger i got a new filter to add the eheim liberty 200 i wars told to remove the coal and Also i can cut and full the two sponge cartidges with bio filter media , the only Ones available are seschem purigen and matrix ( it says is better than the coal since it deos not drop phosphates into the Water )and Also eheim mech , which combinación should i get?

As you intend live plants, I would not use any sort of chemical filtration. "Chemical" filtration refers to filtration that affects the water chemistry in some way, such as carbon (your "coal" I am assuming refers to black activated carbon which is common in many filters), purigen or matrix.

Most canister filters have three stage filtration, the first being some type of ceramic disks, the second a biological media (the "mech"), and then the fine pads/floss/sponge layer. These provide mechanical filtration, which involves removing particulate matter from the water so it is clear, and biological which deals with ammonia/nitrite.
 
Thank you for your answer i will post more updates in 2 weeks when all the remaining parts arrive
 
Led light chichiros 90 cm

This light is both good and bad, Its good if you want to go hi tech Dutch style tank with CO2 injection and EI dosing of fertilizers, bad if you do not.
 
This is hoy tank looks like 100x50x50
250 liters. 450 watts Heat, 2 filters eheim pro 4 200 and a canister eheim liberty 75 modified with more bio media.

6 discus 3 -4cm 2 melón 2 checkboard tirquoise 1 red map 1 red checkboard. They eat granules and food i made with heart oysters carrots garlic and egg plus jello no flavour.
20 tetra neón cardinals
6 red cherry shrimps
2 semoni cobalts

Plants i have carpet of glossotigma. Also marcillea, and ludwigia.

Im having a problem with hermafrodite snails which idk how to solve.(i Need another snail /fish who can eat them but not harm the shrimp.

Also Need recomendations for a double gauge valve for co2 since im planning on adding it (Need it without solenoid since my Country voltage is 240 ill get one here ).
