bio-media in aquapod 24

I'm new to reefkeeping but not to aquarium keeping in general.

 

I ordered an aquapod 24 to set up my first reef tank, It came with 2 foam blocks a bag of ceramic bio-media and a few bio-balls.

 

I have used bio wheels, wet/dry filters etc.. over the years for FO tanks.

 

About 5 or 6 years ago I did some reasearch on reef aquaria, the general consences at the time was that not only was bio-media not needed with adequate live rock/sand but that it is also a nitrate factory.

 

Should I use the bio-media or just go with a foam block and run carbon occasionally??? I'll also be using a skimmer.

Over the weekend I bought the egg crate and and made the shelf to hold the filter floss. I'm actually using chemi-pure too. Seems to be working well for me. Before that cut the blue sponge in half and used that for skimming at the top.
