I'm building a 576 gallon tank and want to make sure I have the right type of filtration system for it. Any ideas or suggestions on what I should incorporate?

If your building it, build in an overflow and go sump. You could build it to where, if needed, you could just open a valve to drain the tank.
Are you building out of plywood? Acrylic? Glass? Concrete?
What kind of turnover rate are you after?
Is the tank show or utility?
Are you building on the cheap or is money no object?
Is noise going to be a factor?
How many fish do you plan on stocking said tank with?
More info is needed to answer your question.

I like the built in sump idea for bio filtration. For mechanical filtration check out the thread in my signature for a giant DE pool filter. It will easily handle 575gallons and the water will always be perfectly clear!
Yea itll be a plywood with a glass front. Trying to stay economically friendly, but I want to do it right. The idea of the sump is something I have been really looking into. A DE pool filter would be an excellent option.
