Would it be a an actual pool filter if I used a sand filter?

yeah you can use a hayward pool filter. I run two on my pool. but bead filters work a little better. they are a little more pricey though

Ok ill start looking around at both

I dont know if that will be big enough, but that is a pretty kickass deal. Wish I would have found that this past summer for my 6k system.

Too small for what you'll need.

I was always curious how these pool filters would hold up to marine conditions? Anyone using them do anything special to ensure they don't rust out from saltwater use?

You could buy or make a fluidized bed filter. They handle a giant bioload for their size, inexpensive - but steal O2 and can return anoxic water in to system if not areated. THey can also crash with power outages, and changes in pump flow.

I am a big fan of bead filters for their stability and easy backwashing. They allow a much higher flow rate and drops are not a crucial. This one could cover your planned system. It is a basic but popular model. I have had two of this brand with no problems.
