Also would any tigerfish be able to live in a 240 gallon for some time? Good with other fish like a stingray? I've seen some videos of mixes like this on YouTube, just not sure if they fluked out or it's possible

I completely misread your question about the pump and my post made no sense so I deleted it. Sorry about that

Should I keep bio balls in the trickle tower and put pot scrubbies in canister, or pot scrubbies in trickle tower, bio balls in canister?

You should put the scrubbers in which ever has the most flow. That is the majority of the surface area so coupled with the most flow and you will maximize what you have.

If it were me I would put the scrubbies in the canister so I could swap out the bio balls without opening a can. Bio balls don't have a ton of surface area and you may decide to upgrade later. Bio balls in the trays is easy access with less of a biological hit to swap out later

Perfect! I put the scrubbies in the canister, still need to get more. I'm leaving one tray in both aquatops empty so I can add seachem denitrate or matrix

First I have heard of that pump. I like it. Curious to hear your feedback on it when you get things running.
