cichla filtration

[nomis]

i have been building a 4500ltr tank over the past months and i still cant decide on how to filter the thing as i want it to handle the feed load that big cichla require with out worrying about things going wrong
so many options wet dry /fluidised bed /bubble bead /sand filter /denitrate /uv /nexus filter the list goes on what do yous think would be the best way that will stand up to the cichla and provide them with good water

i like wet/drys

You could do a wet dry with fluidized sand filter, that'd be sweet. You don't have to pick one. You can do multiples.

UV for me a must. My UV lamp stopped working two days ago. 1 Day ago my water got really dense with who knows what. Fixed the UV and it is clear as whistle again.

i use uv too... you should post this in the filteration forum.. if their was a mod around they should move it

yeh youd get a better response in the setup & filtration forum but just so you know i use a 5ft sump filter with a UV sterilizer..
