I have a 200 Gallon, 7' x 2' x 2', aquarium and I was looking for better filtration. I was looking looking at the Fluval Fx6, Aqueon ProFlex Model 4, Eshopps Rs-200, and the Eshopps Rs-300. If anyone has any experience with these filters/sumps, I would love recommendations. I have checked, and I have room under my stand for any of the sumps. Currently I am running two Eheim 2215's (bought them on mistake thinking they were 2217's).
 
Confused by the wording, you do or dont have room for a sump. I would go with a sump for sure if you can. What will the stock be in the tank? If you want to run canisters I would run 2 FX6 or something similar
 
I plan on getting two more Angels, a Fire eel or Ropefish, a Chocolate Cichlid, and some other larger fish compatible with the Angels and Severum. I was also planning on buying a couple Cories from my lfs. I was attracted to them because they were about 5" - 6". My current stock is on my profile page.
 
Do you have any small tank laying around you can use as a sump ?
 
I got these sumps second hand for my 210.

Eshopps on the right for the filter socks. I drilled it to overflow into my trickle tower. I don't remember what it is, but it was cheaper than a DIY.

 
I would go with either a sump or an eheim 2262.
