I would build a sump/wetdry and use the canisters as well. They would be great to run as an emergency canister for a qt tank if anything ever happens.

this is awesome!!! cant wait to see it finished and stocked, do you already have the fish in another tank?
Looks great. I can't wait to get my tank from craigslist (pending someone selling one big enough 
).
).No pics rite now, not much to see.
I built a small wall and insulated it to close up under the house and got the block stacked where it needs to be.
I got the 2x12 beams built, glued and lag bolted together. I used four boards for across the front and back to span the block stand. These will have an open span of 5.5 feet between the block stand. I have to install the joists between them next.
I also done a bunch of shopping. I picked up almost everything I need to run a 50 amp panel out to the tank. I got the wood to frame the wall after I cut it open.
I went to That Pet Place this week and picked up pumps, two Lifegard 6000 and one 4000, two 40 watt uv bulbs and filter cartridge for the Lifegard filter stuff I have. I also picked up filter socks, and sponge to incorporate into my yet to be designed filter.
I'm looking for something to use for a sump that won't cost a bunch of money, and I can cleanly and sturdily construct a wet dry filter in it.
