When I purchased the 304, I recieved a coarse pad filter, hexagonal ceramic
prefilter and cylindrical bio-max material. There wasn't enough to
completely fill all the compartments so purchasing additional filtration
media (most likely the bio-max stuff) might be a good idea.

Justin,

What the heck is a 'hexagonal ceramic prefilter'? I gather this goes over
the intake?

Mine came with Sponges (4), Biomax (2 compartments) and Carbon (2
compartments), leaving two compartments empty. I put filter floss in the
bottom two compartments, Biomax next and crushed coral in the last two
compartments.

I think he is referring to the biomax material.

No, it's not the Bio-max stuff.
It's the same size and basic shape but is not porous like the Bio-max
