I got a 200 gallon aquarium and currently keeping South American fish and 2 rays I currently have 1renaxp3 and 1renaxp4 running but not keeping up with filtration should I run a sump??? Or another canister? Thinking about a fluval fx5 or a eheim pro3 2080???? What do all think??? Please help!!!!!!

If you can put a sump on that is absolutely the best thing you can do, a nice trickle filter with a box for filter pads should do the trick. If you are okay with the extra electricity and noise running all three forever would be the best possible solution, the sump for awesome biological and then the two Rena's for mechanical . And if you want to get crazy, once the sump is up and running and there are no leaks, you can use some egg crate to block off a section of the sump and put a light over top and some fast growing stem plants in there to help pull out the nitrates
