Is this the filter media?
I will also have a sponge filter and probably some kind of a cut to fit pad maybe some rock in one section just was not sure how it would work or what I should leave out thank you very much

Hard to follow what you are saying. I run my K1 outside of the sump. Depends on your sump design and how wide the baffles are. If the K1 takes up a lot of space in the baffle section it may end up increasing the velocity of the water in that section, along with microbubbles. What's a crash box?

I have a smirged filter sock the water comes in to a section runs out and into the filter shock they call it a crash box I don't know it looked like a good idea makes filter socks a lot easier to change and I have three or four baffles 2 in spacing in between then thought the k1 could go in maybe the first baffle then sponge or some sort of cut to fit filter in the last one

I gotcha. Put it in a location where it's easy for you to load and remove without making a mess.

Okay thanks should I still put live rock in one baffle section a sponge and some other kind of filter in the other and I believe the easiest would be in that crash box thing
