I run a canister on my nano and it works great. I don't have lr rubble in it but i have ceramic media - might be a way to get more surface area. Just a thought I am not sure what is better, lr rubble or ceramic media ... but you can always try!
I'd love to know how this frag tank turns out and if the canister ends up being sufficient for your needs.

Default Canister

I have been running a Fluval 405 for the last 1.5 years on my 40 gallon. Ideally a sump would be better but my tank is happy and very healthy. We do have a Hydor Slim Skim skimmer. For the filter I have the foam prefilter that comes with it and all the compartments are crammed rull of live rock rubble. You probably want to clean the foam every 2 weeks and I do 10% weekly water changes. We have a few LPS species and a small bubbletip anemone. Its very do-able. Just my experience.
