overhead filtration for 2800 gallon saltwater

[Remo1220]

I am new to MFK. Any suggestions on complete filtration system that will run above the tank into a separate room for a 2800 gallon shark/ray tank? I have the entire tank planned out but need some ideas on the filtration. Thanks

Just have a pump bring the water up and gravity take over from there.

Is it a dump filter?

A DIY 300g W/D with live rock in center sump and a protein skimmer after all.
A pump capable of 9000 gph (moderate stocking)at the appropriate head pressure.

Returns at mid-level and bottom to suspend trash for p/u by 2 overflows.

This is a start, now to refine it .
