Hey Travis, I have the same filter on my 125g. There’s a video on Pond Guru RU-vid channel where he pimps out a FX6. He shows a cheaper and better way for the sponge filters. I’m very happy with the filter does a great job. I did add a sponge on the intake which helps a bunch. Curious about your water auto change setup with this filter
Could be, there are many different kinds of bio media that can be used, sponge, ceramics, k1, k3, pretty much any surface that is capable of growing bacteria is biological media. My go to is sponge for it's ease of cleaning opposed to ceramics which clog up over time and reduce the overall surface area greatly.

You could fill the canisters baskets full of gravel and it will work.

FYI - Petsmart is offering the Fluval FX6 for $249.99 - IN-STORE. I live in the Washington, DC area so I don't if this sale is nationwide. Keep up the good work!
