I'm looking at either an XP3 or an Eheim classic 2217 series for Biological, and a Hot magnum for mechanical/water current.
Whats your next filtration upgrade?

Will be putting 2 x 1,200gph overflow boxes onto the tank.
and hooking them up to 2x 40 gallon wet dry filters.

Gotta either switch my sump setup on my 500-It is curently 3 foot long x 2 foot wide x 2 foot tall...
Or I got to add another sump-Roughly the same size as above....
But If I have to switch it out all together-it's gonna be something massive....

I have an Eheim 2260 and 2217 on my 180 and an Ehiem Pro II 2026 and FX5 one my 125, I think I am set/
519 gallon tank.
8x 1.5" bulkheads that feed into 4x 2" pipes. The 4x 2" pipes run into a 65 gallon mechanical sump with 4x 7" filter socks and 3 layers of filtering pad/sponge/floss. The 65 gallon mechanical sump feeds into a 65 gallon pump-house sump via 2x 4" bulkheads. The pump-house sump has 2x Quiet one 14000s that return back to the tank via 2x 1.5" return lines. There will also be a mag 12 in the sump that runs to a 27 gallon bio sump that has 15 gallons of 1" bio-balls in it. The bio-sump feeds back into the mechanical sump.I am going with the bio sump and a 2GPH continuous water change system.
The sumps will maintain a 40-50 percent water level and provide for spill over in case of a pump failure.
I was contemplating using 2x FBF filters, and a 12x 22" DIY coil denitrators, but that may be a future upgrade.

idk...some sort of DIY wet/dry i'm thinking. gotta research and see if using my 55 gal tank will be enough for a 10x4x3 or 8x3x3 and what else i would need.
