Greetings Everyone,

I am doing in fish cycling with daily 40% water change on my 100 L (27 G) tank. The tank kit came with a under gravel filter and a overhead sump filter.

The sump filter had just two strips of filter sponge / pad. Two days back I bought a pouch of ceramic bio rings and a small pouch of activated carbon pellets. I have placed these pouch bellow the existing filter pad. I am new and I do not know whether this is correct. The idea is to improve the filteration quality and aid bactiria creation. For now the fish seems to be OK. No casualities in the past 4 days since I started following the aggressive water change cycle. My test kit is in transit so no testing possible for another week or so. Please let me know the flow sequence is correct or this will lead to some other issues.... Any other points to improve?

Please refer the attached image for better understandin....
