Fluval flex 32.5 filter upgrades

[kris_phoenix255]

Hello all newbie here

I have a fluval flex 32.5 with the AIO filter.
I recently swapped out the filter sponge with a inTank filter basket. I added the filter floss carbon media and bio ball media on one side. For the other side I’m trying to figure out if I should get another inTank basket. Or add a filter sock. If the sock is a good way to go any suggestions on which one and how to install it in the tank?
Thanks for any help

Welcome to R2R!

Filter floss and a filter sock serve the same purpose; mechanical filtration — assuming water is passing through them both efficiently!

Bio balls tend to be a bit inefficient in these saltwater tanks; a better option here would be rock rubble, or similar!

Do you have a protein skimmer of any description in the AIO compartment? If not, the second chamber you have free might be a good place for that, or a small refugium!

How did you swap the sponge for the basket?
