My DIY Wet/Dry filter

Here is an image of the 3 drawer Tupperware container that I want to turn into a DIY Wet/Dry filter. As you can see there are only 3 drawers. The bottom drawer is going to be completely taken up by the pump which leaves me with only 2 drawers for media. What does everyone suggest for filter media? I was thinking of putting filter floss in the top drawer, bio-balls in the middle drawer & the pump of course in the bottom drawer. Does anyone suggest putting some other type of media?

I think you are going to regret using the drawers. They are going to end up creating a huge salt creep mess everywhere and secondly appear to be sterlite. Sterlite gets very brittle over time. Lastly, though it is "wet/dry" the drawers simply do not hold much in the way of weight and will bow excessively and not likely be operable anyway.

Damn, I just checked and it is the "Sterlite" brand. I was thinking of putting it inside of a 10 gallon tank as a backup to overflows. What do you recommend I do about the Sterlite?
