I'm looking to set-up a new tank in the next six month and could use a little help picking out the heaters and filtration system. Now normally I would start by getting a tank and work up from there, however my last tank burnt with the rest of my house and insurance will help pay for some of these items at least until the dead line comes around. Which is unfortunately next month, so I can give you some rough details of what I'm wanting and hopefully we can come up with some decent ideas.

As for the tank I would like to be somewhere in the 125 to 200 gallon range, as for fish I haven't totally made up my mind but I'm leaning towards Piranhas. One other problem is that insurance will only help pay for the item if the price is near there estimate for my old systems. I had two filtration systems one replacement value is $340 and the other $210 As for heaters I had two and they are about $50 on each.

So if you could list some filters that are near those prices that you think are good filters I would really appreciate it. :)
 
Filters-2x fx5 @460$
Heater/s-eheim jager 300watt, 2 for a 200gal
JBJ heater controller @77$
Lighting-basic led@80-100$ (unless planting)
Substrate-2-4x bags of pfs @16-32$
Stand DIY cinderblock @18$ or wood @60-80$
Nice DW-free from nature

Very good prices on everything and free shipping!

Oh and 1 or 2 very high quality grounded/surge protection outlet strips!
