Bio cubes in overflow chamber

Anyone try this? In each of my overflow chambers it seems like there is just a lot of wasted dead space. Could i place bio cubes in both? Im talking about filling behind the black up to my durso drain?? Thoughts...

Sure.. but it has some cons to it..
That area tends to collect quite a bit of detritus and some will siphon that out occasionally.. You would need to move/remove those cubes to access that properly..

Really not a big deal though.

I always put bio filtration after filter floss to prevent as much detritus as possible from building up in the bio media. Bio media is the section I try not to bother when doing maintenance.

I did for many years. My advice would be put them in a mesh bag so they are easy to pull out if need be.

Makes life a lot easier IME.
