That's what I call a TANK =-) ..... my suggestion would be go big w/filteration. You have a pimp as tank and you a want a Pimp as filteration also. I would go double the suggested GPH. e.g... in my tank I have two Dolphin Amp Master 3000 Pumps. One is connected to my ULTIMA II Pond Filter (for my biological) and an Aqua U.V Sterilizer. The other is straight up free flow. This eliminates the use of power heads inside the tank. This is solely dedicated to move the water around. This is also eliminates the unwanted cord and un-necessary space a powerhead will take up. I added my aqua U.V for parasite reasons not for ALGEA. I've never had an algea problem in my tank and my tank is faced in front of a window. I believe it's because of good current.
I would also just use a berlin style sump w/sock filter for the mechanical. Easy maintenance and the socks are washable. Pick up or use at least a 125 Gallon Tank, but in your case I would use a 180![]()

......... In addition by using a berlin style set up you have room to put monsters in the sump for emergency purposes. Anyways, enough w/my babbling. I canb go on and one
...... awsome pick up and let me know if you have any questions.
