filtration question

[sulley171]

so after months of looking.. i finally bought a 210 gallon tank. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on filtration for it? its 7x2x2. Its an upgrade from my 55 gallon. Is there any certain type of filter which would be better than the other? Right now I have two hang-on filters. I was leaning towards a canister. I have an Oscar, Pacu, Irridecent Shark, 3 Balas, Angel and 2 over grown feeder goldfish. Any suggestions would help. Thanking You in advance.

i had one, an eheim, and i never really thought it kept my tank as clean and clear as i wanted, so i resorted to using lots of other filters lol.

and it wasn't the 2262, never tried any other eheim filters tho

paint the back of the tank black and put 4 emperor 400s or 4 ac110s on the back rim. should take care of all your filtration problems.
