Hi all! So I'm currently planning my media baskets for a new BioCube 32g that I'll be getting next week.
So far I'm planning on doing this in my InTank media basket, top to bottom:
Filter Floss
Purigen
Chemi Pure Elite
And then I'll also be starting a refugium for chaeto next to that.
So, I'm confused because my first tank was a Fluval Evo 13.5 and in addition to purigen and phosgard, I used the stock filter sponge and stock "biological media", which was little balls/pellets for all the bacteria to grow on. I was told to never change that out because, of course, you want this beneficial bacteria to build up.
Is this biological media something that I will also need for my new 32g? If so, what do you suggest?
Or does the purigen, filter floss, chaeto, and chemi pure elite... in addition to dry rock and live sand take care of all that? Thank you in advance!
