ok on my 110 i have an emperor 400 (350 gph) a penguin 350 (350 gph) a magnum 350 pro system (350 gph) and a reverse flow undergravel filter (700 gph) and yes i have all 6 biowheels going i would love tojust have one filter on it but this works just fine for now until i switch the 110 to salt and get a monster refugium and wetdry to run it

why a wet dry and refugium? refugium would be fine all on its own
 
when i did my usual 2 week vac clean...my water started to clear up then got murky/cloudy again.....im guessing i do need a good canister filter as well....or any ideas?......

Well this is my first post and with it I'll offer my own 2 cents. You may want to clean your tank more often. In fact, I would advise you to. Try cleaning 1x a week. Visually divide your tank up into 3 sections and clean 1/3 each week. Be really thorough with your vacuuming and change out about 20% of the water each time. Other things to consider would be: are you possibly overstocked? Also make sure that your filter(s) are actually working properly. Do they have adjustments for GPM?
