What type of fiiltration system do you plan to use? The "bio balls" or similar systems work well.
It is always a challenge to keep your Nitride levels low so invest in a good water test kit, test frequently (every 4-5 days) and plan on frequent water changes. A 25% change every two weeks works for me but much depends on the quality of your tap water.
Also, be sure to FULLY de-chlorinate the water used in your changes, match specific gravity and temperature exactly. Good luck Pat Daniels
