I dun run any test. I base on clarity, fish appetite and behaviour.
Im not a professional so take my post with a pinch of salt.

If you plan on using two liters of biohome with minor pre mechanical filtering, my answer is no.

I had 2 trays of cheapo dymax glass rings and 1L of biohome in my canister for my 422 . IT and aro. I felt they wasnt behaving as they used to.

So I changed to an OHF and added 3L of bacteria house.
They are doing very well now. Even better when I added a 24/7 wavemaker.

However, I have the cannister on standby with 2L of eheim substrate pro and 6L of mr aqua ceramic rings for when they are fully grown.

These are monster fishes and your tank seems overstocked.

my 2 cents.
