Filtration for my 250 gallon complete

[fallin49er]

I finally got everything all fine tuned and I am pretty happy with how it turned out. I feel it is very simple and clean. I would like to thank Justin (JK47) for helping me on Saturday he had to drill 4 holes through 1" acrylic and they came out perfect. Here are the details:

Tank 54" long x 36" deep x 30" tall (roughly 250 gallons)
Sump is 42 gallons
Pump is a mag 18
2- Rena XP 4 plumbed into the back
1.5" inch overflow
1" return

Inhabitants: 13" jag, 13" Butikofferi, 2-Tomocichla Sieboldii, 2 syno featherfin cats, 1 pleco.

Looks neat and effective. No full tank shots?

I had fun and it looks great! That check valve is good thinking, very smart. The back of this tank is 1" thick acrylic.... 1"!! good lord that's overkill.. Give us a pic of your big jag at least, he's a beast of a fish.

Your sump looks like it could use 100 or so cycled pot scrubbies like the ones floating in my 125 gallon all yours bud, whenever your ready for them.

err..bro, may i ask about the filtration architecture?

basically, the canister and the sump is not link together or it was linked togethere?

3 level of filtration, canister to sump to canister to tank?

Canisters are plumbed into back of the tank...not into the sump.
