diy sump, go as big as you want, as much gph as you want. customizable for any application... im using 1 huge sump to filter 3 different tanks on my next setup.
with the sump are we talking just bio media. i would still need mechanical filrtation and the canisters arent big enough by them selfs.
go with a w/d system. Get as big as a sump you can, and look for plastic bins that you can put on top of the tank/sump to house your mechanical media.
This is my diy WD, its a 20g high with a plastic drawer/bin that I put in the pads. This is a smaller scale, but I'm sure you can adapt it to a larger WD system.

OK wet/dry seems simple enuf to make. all one needs is a hog waterer, some bio media ( bio balls, pot scrubbers,etc.) , foam blocks for mechanical filtration, and a pump. and now the 64,000 dollar question. how much water turn over. i am guessing too much is bad and too little is useless. any suggestions on a gph.
