Setting up this nano for QT.

[Sir Chris]

So setting up tank and got it used and cleaned everything like now is the time of cycling and wanna get it all the way I want before I get water in it. So should I go with a chato fug as so many people say the bioballs are terrible. And with BRS on chato being a + I wanna go with it I feel. But can I use some bioballs under that screen or the ceramic tubes. The tank will have a 3 tier rack and LR under the 3rd and 2nd tier or leave the 1s no rack and just sand bed for lps a wrasse and some cleanups and will b for corals. And Ima try the hood and if it can't support I have a 24" hood I can place over till I get a 180 or 360tuna. But back on track what would u guys run in the 2nd chamber. I already have a slimmer made vs the 100$ 1. Like my intank 1 currently just smaller.

Also I splitting the return and looked into a better pump or modding the 90degree back and just b a tube so there's no choke points, and will I need a power head as I'd prolly put it behind the rocks and push though em. Or something like it or normal position. Any 1 with nano experience feel free. I know the stock hood isn't enough for higher sps but for now and the other T5 hood I have in a pinch. Heard guisman bulbs would b enough but I like perfect then enough. I want an easy 2 control water parameters for the corals so that's y the chato as bioballs will jump around nitrates. Sorry long message

What is the purpose of this tank, and how many gallons is it?
