Should I be running anything else?

[Letterkenny]

I have a JBJ 45 and am trying to figure out what else I should be running in it. In chamber 1 is just the filter sock that came with it and some of the rubble. I don’t really care for running filter socks but not sure what to put there. Chamber 2 has my Tunze 9004 DC skimmer, chamber 3 has my siccee 3.0 return pump and my Tunze ATO, chamber 4 has my heater, and chamber 5 (the second overflow chamber) has an in tank media basket with filter floss (also would like to not run), purigen, and chemi pure elite.

Yes I plan on changing that out regularly but ultimately don’t want to run the filter floss or socks.
