Thinking about changing up media positioning

In my Fluval 404 I currently have this media arrangement(from top to bottom):
  • Filter floss pads
  • Biomax
  • Biomax
  • Prefilter blocks
But I'm thinking of changing it up to add some carbon because I don't need the prefilter blocks at all since they are useless after the main water flows in onto the foam pads. There is no large particles for the prefilter to catch. However I'm still thinking of leaving in a little bit of prefilter media in the bottom.

So it would then be(from top to bottom):
  • Biomax
  • Biomax
  • Filter floss pads
  • Carbon packs/Chem-zorb?/Purigen?
