Need help deciding on how I'm going to filter out this monster tank. I have never dealt with a tank of this size and want the best bang for my buck when it comes to filters. I was thinking of two fx5s or building a wet/dry sump. Any ideas? Need to get this bad boy going as soon as possible.

Wet/dry all the way IMHO. Simple maintenance, excellent oxygenation, and no airstones, heaters, etc. in tank!
You can build your own fairly cheaply, or check out Eshopps line of wet/drys. One half the price of most others.
I can change my filter pads on the fly in under a minute! It just doesn't get any better than that! :)

Or you could do a sump with filter socks, Herbie overflows so it's quiet, pond matrix. I like no chambers in a sump.

Thanks for the advise guys. My buddy is making a wet/dry now and it's pretty cheap and fairly easy to build. Think I'm going to go that route
