I use TTM all the time. 
 
I don't bother with seeded media, the fish are only in each transfer phase 3 days so if you feed lightly their really shouldn't be an ammonia issue, a heater, aged saltwater and a sponge filter are all I use. If you really want to add some water change water from your tank, or something like microbacter. 
 
All my fish have been through TTM, cycle 1 with paraguard, cycle 2 and 3 with prazipro, and cycle 4 just plain saltwater. 
They have all made it with flying colours and in tip top shape, dragonettes, dartfish, tang etc
