What to Put in Filter Media Basket for waterbox20

[N64]

I'm completely new to the hobby, I have a waterbox 20g that I am starting to cycle, I just ordered a intank media basket, what filter media should i use? Filter floss, bag of bio spheres, and bag of carbon? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you

Carbon, floss and teaspoon of GFO or phosZorb

For just starting a cycle, I'd recommend keeping things slim. Personally (I'm 2 weeks since cycle start) I only have floss and carbon in my inTank media basket. I have a sump so I don't need bio spheres, but those probably aren't a bad idea to increase your surface area while you're starting the tank.

don’t put anything until a few weeks after the cycle is complete. then put seachem phosguard and seachem purigen. rotate carbon in there every other month or so.
