You could simple fill it with water and live rock and pump water through there, or you could basically fill it with a 15cm layer or fine sand or preferably aragonite and create a deep sand bed for nitrate reduction.

I have 2 canister filters and a filter that takes the nitrate out of the water. I thought that I could seperate the 3 foot into compartments and create a filter like that.

I copy Rory here Mart. Cannister filter will not remove nitrates. It will create them.
