No need to seed. With a wet dry, all your bacteria is in the bio media. The foam or floss is only there as a mechanical media.
There will be bacteria in there... but thats why you use the floss or the sponge.It is designed to catch all the "crap" and stop it from getting into the bio media. That way you hardly ever have to mess with the bio media. Its an excellent design.

So wheres the best place to buy bulk carbon and mechanical filters .
I see the white and blue filter sheets in factories all the time for air filtration. I have always wondered if they simply relabel it and jack up the price for aquarium use.The one on the top looks to be the blue/white stuff, but is not in colorhttp://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/120/687
Its more realistic to buy rolled quilt batting from a craft store. Just make sure it doesn't have flame retardent in it. Im blanking on the one I buy but its 3ft by 12ft roll lasts me a while and was like 12 bucks.
