What should I put in the first chamber of my AIO, instead of the filter sock?

[albie]

MY Innovative Marine SR 60 AIO came with a filter sock and media basket in its far chambers. I’m keeping the media basket in the last chamber, but am trying to figure out the best use of space in the first, instead of the filter sock. I think my top two options are purchasing a a second media basket or putting a Tunze Comline 9004 skimmer in there. If I go with the second media basket, I could put an IM skimmer in the second chamber, but that seems to get bad reviews. I’d appreciate hearing anyone’s thoughts or experiences.

I bought a second media caddy and used two in each side chamber of my SR60. Worked well. Extra space for all sorts of media.

Did you skip a skimmer?

Did you skip a skimmer?

Yes. I’ve never used one.
