I have a jbj 30 gallon rimless AIO set up - is my filtration enough

left side compartment aquamaxx fr-se reactor with seachem matrix (1st compartment)

2nd compartment ceramic rings in a bag

middle compartment return pumps, ato, heater

3rd compartment ceramic rings in a bag

4th right compartment filter floss, seachem matrix, sponge In a media basket

then I have about 25 pounds of live rock

any suggestions? Protein skimmer? Reactor with carbon? Different things in the media basket

lite fish load currently
 
So long as you have some mechanical filtration and good carbon and going consistent water changes it's just fine. I also like using purigen in all in ones as well. A good way to use all of those is to use chemipure blue
 
Would you remove the sponge and put in chemipure blue In its place? I have a brand new Bag of it

I can fit another reactor in the back - fill it with carbon
 
I would set up filtration so it runs mechanical, then whatever chemical you decide to run, and then biological if any.
