So a friend of mine has a 320 sitting in his basement doing nothing. It has been used both for fresh and saltwater and now he's raising a family and needs the room. I am also raising a family, but I will MAKE room for this beast, it is 96 X 24 X 32, with a 75 gallon sump.

Does anyone have any suggestions on freshwater filtration for this tank? What would I need in order to run it efficiently?
I think I am going to house my 3 Oscar's in it along with a rare catfish of some sort, but not sure on stock yet.

I think I can get the tank for 800$ or less, so as you can see it is a steal, the sump comes with it of course. What else do you think I'll need to get it up and going?

The next time I visit him I will take a few pics to post and give ya some ideas.
Until then, any suggestions?
 
The 75g sump would be fine for filtration It may need to be modified a bit if there is a protien skimmer mounted into it. If the pumps he has were used in salt It my be a good idea to ditch them. I think the salt really puts a beating on the internals of the pumps. You need to get some picks up of the sump to really give suggestions on it.
