Hey Nate, what type of filtration do you use? I am completely torn on sponge filters and bio-wheels. Which is better?
thats the beauty of it, the two different types well (3) are offered by using sponges HOB external/intternal you get it, new Aqueon filter offer a "no start up" aka pouring watrr into the actual HOB, i sell these products now as well 
but they offer all 3 types offiltration in one filter, and its a HOB made in sizes 10 20 30 and 55. relatively cheap.
so to answer your question i use, aqueons on larger tanks 20g+ with sponges, hooked on my central air system running through out my facility. some tanks are alot more filtered due to what i keep in them, if its an expensive fish ill filter the hell outta the water or over run it like a piranha tank (2x suggested filtration)
right now im all on linear pumps and large blowers, i have my plumbers meeting this week and all next week to turn my new shop into 100% trickle systems auto water changers etc ....and get this ...hooked up to my cell phone.nevermind automated by pc... im going high tech, all the way.
my warehouse i grow corals in etc and stock some peru and brazil, i run on sumps and large water pumps with a drain, if no drain is available use float valves and large rubbermaids.
i try to keep non QT stock in tanks seperated form a central system due to i dont want o be Petco...one tank is ruined the whole lot is ruined. even on my tanks that will be on central filtration systems will have ball valves and every tank has a sponge, H-4 from kensfish.com just in case...
and last but not least my open to the public shop is half and half, large SW show tanks will be run with refugiums etc and stock for sale on air, but my show tanks on wet/dry or renas etc depending how large of a tank and whats in it (clean eaters or messy eaters, fish that like food that pollutes water or clean eating fish...etc etc)
hope that helps....
my advice to anyone is run all 3 types of filtration or at least bio and mech, but im no expert. Mike at H2O is unreal with water quality and engineering if you need to know everything in science im sure he could help alot.
