I am setting up a Waterbox 20 gallon cube. I have never run an all in one tank before, and have always had a sump with skimmer and refugium. I am wanting to avoid a skimmer for the time being, but I also want the ability to house more than 2 fish. So, I am trying to figure out the best media to run in the back of the waterbox, and when to add it (before, during, or after my cycle)

I am going to have at least 30 lbs of dry rock and a couple inches of sand in the tank. I don't want to use the bioballs that come with the tank, but I will use the carbon. So I initially was thinking Carbon, Marinepure, and something else, but I am open to suggestions, and need help figuring out what to run.

Thanks in advance.
 
Is purigen something you replace or is it something that builds up bacteria that gets rinsed and left in?
