If you want to make the filter more efficient, just add a finer form of mechanical filter media before the bio-balls. You want to eliminate as much detritus up front long before it gets to your bio-media.
 
ok ty guys i could add a nother 1inch pad of finer foam under the first one to catch smaller particals and the cool thing is i can take out the foam and have it cleaned and back in the sump in under 5 minutes so would u think daily cleaning of that and proper feeding would be enought to keep sump clean and working well?

the tank will have 7 dats 6 indo 1 ntt and 2 flag tail and 1 cl as of now planning on getting more cl to keep the sand shifted and bring as much crap to the filter

the babies are still small 1/2 - 1 inch growing almost double size a week and the ntt is 3 inchs same for the cl and flag tail they are in a grow out 30 for now so i got time till i have this going i want it perfect to keep them all the way till the next tank they need a new tank should be a year or so cuz they all grow slow
also i wanted to turn a canister filter in to a water polisher its raited for a 100 gal think that would be enough?

That should be fine to keep the sump nice and clean.

The canister would do a great job of helping to remove the extra debris.
