In my JBJ 28 I'm running a In-Tank media basket with filter floss, purigen and chemi pure. When I have both pumps on the media basket overflows due to the media blocking the flow. I came up with two options and I was hoping you guys could tell me in your opinion what is the better option.

First option is to only run one return pump like I'm doing now and leaving the other return off completely. I can't run wavemaker because I use an ATO and the water fluctuated too much.

Second option is to reposition the media vertically and off to one side in the media basket so as to only take up half a chamber leaving the other half for flow. Right now I have the media bags laying horizontally across each chamber to make sure all the water goes through the chemical media.

Thanks so much for any help.
