Setting up 24Gal Aqua Pod

I got the AP 24 Gallon in today.
I already modified the lights from the two 32W to two 40W. I also added two stealth 60mm fans in the canopy.

Should I leave the sponge, bio balls, and ceramic rings in the aquarium while it is cycling? I have Filter Floss, Chemi-Pure and Purigen ready for after it cycles.

Here is what I have in it so far:
20 lbs. of Fiji Pink Live sand. (should I add more?)
Maxi Jet 1200 w/Hydro Flo
Visi Therm Stealth 100W Heater
Coralife Digital Thermometer


My question is that I have done my research on this site and others and I have read that most AP 24 only come with one fan. I was surprised when I opened mine up and saw two.

I also went ahead and added 25lbs of LR today. I will post pics tonight.
What should I put in the two chambers?

I also liked the JBJ stand better than the Aqua Pod stand, so I made a top to fit the Aqua Pod on the JBJ.

Let me know what you guys think of the aquascaping and what I should put in the two chambers. I have heard to put LR rubble in one. Should I put it in there loose or in a bag?
