most of the ehiems have the most gph for canistors you might want to consider dual canistors i ran a eheim wet dry canistor sorry forget model # and a eheim pro two that would handle the load of your tank.
have you considered a sump might be a lot cheaper

Eheims actually run a lower gph than most other canisters, but their pumps are much stronger, and will not get clogged very easily. For a 265 I'd start looking at the eheim 2262, and I'm sure Harley will add on to that. For this tank I would honestly look at setting up either 2 big canisters, or one nice wetdry.
no need for 500's if yo get 2-3 canisters.
some would say 2 fx5 or 2 pro3 or 2 pond filters (would need external pumps).
Basically look around, see what works for ya and go...

Thats alot of money. I hope Large cichlids knows what kinda investment maintaining a 200+ gallon tank really is. This is exactly why I'll be happy with my 90-100 gallon tank in a few months. Because I know I could prob get by with just my two Emporer 400's if need be.
Still if money isn't a priority, those Eheims are some of the best.
