ok so today(last night) my filter bit the dust and i was eyeing the emperer 400 filter. so i figured insteed of buying a new pump i will replace the whole thing. old one was about 4 years old. so i bought it and hoked it all up and in the process i learned that i cave and extra area to put my own media in there. i already have the carbon filters put in along with a protein skimmer. so finally to my question: do i need to add any type of extra filtration device in this area? or should i just leave it alone. i have a fish only tank w/some live rock. about 20lbs. this is what i am talking about Hagen Fluval Biomax Filter Media. it helps with the amonia and nitrates. if i dont need it thats fine i just want the best for my fish's
