New Filter On Small Tank

Hi All

What is the best way to get a new canister filter working on a very small tank which does not have enough filtration and where I'll need to remove the old filter to install the new piping ?

Background:

I have a 22L tank which I moved a small number of fish too after decommissioning my larger tank.

The tank is a commercial product which simply does not have enough filtration and I'm having to do water changes ever few days and the bacteria keeps falling into solution.

My Ideas:

My plan is to fill new filter with water which has prime and stabilise added along with bring the KH up to the current tanks levels. I was thinking of taking the old filter pads and putting them in the filter for a while also.

Anything else I could do to help things along, better ideas ?

Cheers
