Not sure how the 405 is layed out, but in my FX5 I have all 3 baskets stuffed with scrubbies, and just left the foam around the outside. I have a polishing pad in the last basket for cleaner water...

Can you find Easter Grass? That is what the scrubbies are made of.

For a canister, you be better off spending extra and get a quality media such as biomax or ehfisubstrat, this will provide you with much more surface area for bacteria to grow. Pot srubbies work best in a wet/dry sitsuation where they expose the bacteria to both water and oxygen.
