I am setting up our first monster tank. It's going to be a 300 gallon saltwater acrylic tank that's going home a bamboo shark as well as some tang and Some other fish. would a fluval fx5 be sufficient or what would I need to add more to it.

I suggest a sump it would be suffucient enough for filtration. I not too familiar with cannister filters. Just that with all i've read is their just nitrate factory. A sump would give you more room for filtration and media.

If you want to run canister filters i would go with at least 2 fluval fx5's. But as dat said running a sump would likely be the better option in this case because its a bigger tank.
sump with seachem matrix and/or live rock rubble. Buy the biggest protein skimmer you can afford with those large fish. Look for a sump at least 60-75 gallons. The fx5 is pretty worthless on sw tanks.
