Simple answer is yes. Too much media can impede the flow.
Most people tend to like filterfloss in the basket... it polishes the water and is easy to change frequently.

I have a 32Biocube 32 also. I have "upgraded" InTank media basket and fuge basket. Starting at the top of the media basket I have a filter pad, next level is live rock rubble, next level is puragen, the final level is 11oz chemi-pure elite and a small bag of activated carbon. In the fuge I have a foam pad with a piece of rock on top (I have that there for the benefit of amphipods and copes) and chaeto. I have a JBJ 4 led magnet light that I have come on when my lights go out. I would not recommend this light, at least not directly on the back of the tank. It does grow the chaeto however I am constantly growing bad algae also! I am using s Hydor wavemaking pump and I am guessing somewhere in the range of 30 lbs of live rock. Sorry I do not have pictures on this computer however I will see if I can post a few later.
I hope this helps!
