My new Aro tank:
400 litres sump. six chambers in it.
Above it, with 500 litr/hr pump, wet/dry with foam and bioballs.
Inside the last chamber ( from where water is pumped back into the tank ) I have another pump (2500 litres/hour ) that sends part of the filtered water back to chamber 2 to do the sump circuit again.
Alongside the sump ( and working with the sump ) I have an Eheim cannister full of Chemi Pure ( could be full of carbon, if needed ),
and I still would like to have more, because this tank is FULL.
In all my other tanks, the least I have is 2 big cannisters ( 2280's and 2260' and 2250 Eheims as well as those overflow boxes ??)

Our 300 gallon tank system has a ProClear 400 Wet dry filter with a CA-6000 pump (1560 gph) for biological filtration; for mechanical filtration, two Rainbow Lifeguard spa filters run by a big Reef Flo Hammerhead pump (5800 gph). For redundant backup filtration we have an FX5 with a 40 Watt Pentair Aquatics UV sterilizer connected to it.
240
Wet Dry rated for 400 gallon tank doing 2200 gph (sump has 2 litres of bio-home 10 bags of nitra-zorb 1lb of carbon)
FX5
2 xp3's 1 mechanical 1 chemical hooked to a turbo twist 18 uv sterilizer
And im thinking of adding an xp4 or maybe another fx5 for when i go away to college.

(1) 10g BW tank w/ ~15lbs of live rock & 16lbs of fine white argonite sand, 35xturnover from a penguin 250 and ACmini and i just took out my little 60gph rio that i had hidden in the rocks. i'm still not satisfied with the water flow and soon i'm going to replace the ACmini w/ PS75 needlewheel skimmer @ 315gph. i love my water flow and my fish don't seem to mind
