if you could do anything and money was not an obstacle how would you filter a 210 gallon freshwater tank?

If money was no obstacle my friend i'd probably give away the 210 and worry about how i was going to filter the shiny brand new 5000g set up i'd just ordered!!!!
Assuming a 6' 210, I would find a 6' 120 and use it as a sump. Filter socks, into some finer pads, then into a load of MarinePure, finally through a polishing pad, before reaching the pump and heaters. In 1 of the chambers I would also run a 36W UV filter/powerhead as to make sure that water is SUPER CRISPY! I am looking at doing these modifications currently, just not a 120 sump.
I would use 210 gallon sump. Full of algea balls in a fluidised reactor powered with 600 watts of mixed led, 660nm and 435 nm.
Or I would run a 2" pipe line to some rocky mountain head water stream.

Not enough flow for a 210 gallon unless fairly lightly stocked, imo. A pair would be good, but then we're talking money no object and can do anything...
