build a wetdry!!!
Take one of these http://www.target.com/gp/detail.htm...4?_encoding=UTF8&frombrowse=1&asin=B0006O0EE2
Drill a a bunch of holes in the bottem each drawer say 3/8 in. Fill the first drawer with foam/floss, second with efisubstrat/efimech or whatever and fill the 3rd with bioballs. For the 4th drawer just put a pump in it that pumps water up to the tank. The water starts at the top and runs through all you media then gets pumped back up. Way better then a canister IMO and alot cheaper and pratical for your large tank

interesting suggestion. I'm one whos all about the DIY home built stuff. do you have any examples of a similar set up with that type of container?
Yea here http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/diy_wet_dry.php but it dosnt have the capacity a super large tank (150+) but thats where I got the idea. I wish I had seen it before I built my wetdry out of a 20gal tank because it has more spaces for different types of media and the capacity is huge.
dude thats rad. thanks for that link. I know what my next filter will be. thats just SO freakin easy! much easier then making an acrylic sump from scratch. (was my alternative)
