Sounds like a good start. I have a 10 gal freshwater tank that I use for a saltwater tank. It came with one hang on back filter and I used a second one as well. Then I hooked both of them up to an undergravel filter plate to draw water through. I took out the carbon filter elements that came with the HOB filters and simply shoved a sponge in the filters. This acts as a source for bacteria that will remove nitrite and ammonia. It works very well. Water flows down through the gravel, up into the HOB filters where the water rises up through the sponge and then spills back into the tank. It has been really effective and keeping wastes low. Just remember to do a partial water change periodically as the nitrates rise.
