Monitor ammonia and manage it with water changes if necessary.
Put a couple of small pieces of pvc in the tank for hiding places.
You have a top for the QT, right? You don't want to lose fish to jumping.
By the way, multiple chromis frequently fight until only one is left.

We got a Aqueon QuietFlow 10. Downside that we've seen comparing it to the AquaClear HOBs is that this filter does not provide a lot of room for media. It came with a filter cartridge with carbon. Looking at getting the AquaClear instead.
We did get some pvc at Home Depot today so we're good there, justneed to work out the filtration now and I think we'll be good.
