Hi!
The filter has almost completed the cycle 🙂
I have the Oase 600 too right now, with the Sera Flore CO2 Reactor 1000.
In my opinion the Oase should be enough for your tank, if you need to spread better the CO2 you will be always able to add a circulation pump, and remove the fine sponges that clog fast. Oase also sells 30 ppi prefilter sponges, they are the orange ones.
About the Sera Flore CO2 Reactor... Well I don't like it so much, I just needed an inexpensive reactor and it does his job. It is a little noisy if you inject a lot of CO2 and release some microbubbles, a few or a lots depending on how much CO2 you dose.
Probably you will have to start the CO2 more than an hour before the lights turn on, but the most important thing is that you have to pay a lot of attention to its CO2 "fitting" (I don't know the right word sorry). It DOES break easily, especially if you need to remove the CO2 hose.
If you go "high light" in the future I would look for a better reactor or DIY. Now it should be fine anyway, I don't mean to make you worry.
