Welcome to the forum.
I use about 6" of Poret foam, then Bioballs in a wet/dry section, then a bunch of plastic pot-scrubbers in the bottom section, under the water level. You could also keep some live plants for nitrate removal if your space can accommodate them.
Good luck.

Looking good!
We have two basically identical sumps.
We have a wet/dry media box that has from top to bottom:
Course Poret Foam (the Orange stuff)
Bio-balls
Fine Poret Foam (lt blue)
blue filter bad
and a chamber that is planted with Water Wysteria in one tank and Swords in the other tank. The Wysteria is going crazy but looks slightly less healthy at this point than the swords. We only recently took to planting the sumps so still experimenting at this point.
We have at various times had more Poret foam completely submerged as a second layer of filtration/bio-media but have removed them.
