FX5 all the way. You could get an eheim 2262. You would probably want to consider two FX5s for a tank that size. One doesn't quite keep up on my 125.

Wait a minute, so you are telling me this is not true....

The Fluval FX5 is a large capacity, multi-stage external canister filter system. Fluval FX5's massive capacity and powerful integrated motor processes and recirculates 607 U.S. gallons (2,300 liters) of water every hour, enabling precise management of water conditions for aquariums as large as 400 U.S. gallons (1,500 liters).
