How to Convert SW Nano-Cube to FW Planted Tank?

[H2OGarden]

Hi,
I just realized that I'm very allergic to salt mix so I'm converting my saltwater Nano-Cube to a freshwater planted tank. I'm an equipment dummy so I need help.

I hear that the pumps in my tank are likely too strong for FW. What pumps should replace them? My current pumps are Accela SP1-1000 rated at 266 gph.

My filtration system was meant for saltwater. Three-stage filter has sponge, activated carbon (like pebbles not sand-sized), and ceramic rings for biological filtration. There is no bio-wheel. Does this make a difference? Should I try to fit on on my sump in lieu of the rings?

Also, I'm wondering if the standard lighting is too strong and if the bulbs should/can be changed. I have 105 watts of power compacts - 10,000k daytime lamps and 7100K blue actinic. Should/can the actinics be removed and replaced?

Thanks. All!
Terri

most filters are good for freshwater/saltwater aquariums. As for the lights, the 10000k may be ok for plants requiring lots of light, but may be too much for some fish. The actinics aren't really necessary. there's a couple threads on this in these forums and around the web. My main question is, what exactly do you plan on doing in your FW setup? Plants? Fish?

I plan on having a moderate amount of plants and fish, a planted aquarium but not too dense. I plan on black neon tetras, dario dario fish, other small fish.
