I tell peeps at the shop to ditch all the media that it comes with and stuff it with live rock.....leave the top tray open for a carbon or chemi-pure or stuff like that......the problem with most "medias" is they saturate very quickly in a saltwater environment.....so unless you are religious about changing it and keeping it clean they can end up leaching nitrates back into the tank....
