Bio Filter setup for Waterbox 10

[btreef]

Hello I had a few biological filtration questions.   

My setup for Bio-filtration in my WB10:

First Chamber: Filter sock and chemi-pure blue nano pack
Second Chamber:
    Sponge
    Bag of carbon included with the WB
    Bio balls included with wb
    Bag of pieces of rock
    Sponge

Third Chamber: Heater and return pump

 

I plan to remove the black sand over the course of several water changes.

 

Do I need the bag of carbon if I have the Chemi-pure?
What can i remove that is unnecessary? Balls & sponges keep the rubble?
Should I use floss instead of sock?

System:
Waterbox 10 Cube
Neotherm Heater 50w
Included return pump
Hydor nano power head
AI prime HD

System is 5 weeks old and seems to be cycled
2 fish
3 hermits

Feed flakes or pellets once daily.

Water change 2 times a week for the last few weeks. 3 gallons per

 

My first tank FYI!

 

Thanks for your help folks!

The biological filteration is your liverock.

 

If using chemipure, there is no need for carbon, chemipure is carbon.

 

The bag of rocks is bio media.

 

Sponges and bioballs aren't often recommended. Bioballs if not cleaned can become an issue, sponges are never clean enough to not become a nutrient trap.

 

Most commonly used in back chambers: filter floss replaced 2 times a week, carbon.

 

Some like to add cheato with a light source, others use purigen, some add a small pod condo.

 

Any changes you make, do it slowly, the tank is new.
