I have just finished building my pvc overflow it works like a charm and am about to order my pump. I wanted to what kind of media i should use in the middle of my 10 gallon sump? My sump has 3 chambers, one for where the water flows in with mechanical filtration there, one in the middle for whatever biological filtration i put in, and one for the return. The middle is roughly 14 inches long and the water will be around 5 inches high. Also how much should I buy because it will have things in like ounces and litres and I'm not sure how much that will fill.
 
Congrats on your overflow :headbang2.

With a small sump like this, cost isn't as much of a concern. Scrubbies or most any of the ceramics will do, look for what's on sale :D.

Just calculate the volume of the sump area you want to fill, with scrubbies just stack them till it's full (a little harder to calculate with compression).

Let's see some pix too.

Just use scrubbie like the good doctor said. You can get them 6/$1.00
