Default well, ed did knock my door, i have a 210 gal long

ok ppl, i am buying a 210 gal tank, i could pass it up being $700 for a 24x24x84 tank with stand and some other odds and ends. My question is now what to do with it. I'm gunna not go with larger fish, like tiggers and tangs but stay with the nanos i have in my 2 tanks now, yes thts alot of fish if u tink about it in a 210 gal tank. I know i may be crazy but, oh well. I pretty much have all the money i need to finish it with lr, ls, pumps, lighting etc. i am though asking what u all think i should do with the filtration.

I was looking at canister filtration but then i loss a place for my copepods and all the goodies u would get a sump/refugium. powerheads, wavemakers etc are another thing i would like some info on. me and my with have our own 30 gal tanks all set up, but this is a huge step and i would love to get ppl thoughts on products they like and ideas you all have been thinking about.

Kinda funny the last thread posted was kinda like this but yes it like my/our dream come true finding such a good deal on this tank and stand. Ive had great success with both my nano tanks, but this is a whole new beast and i want as much info as ppl are willing to give. I havnt set it up jsut yet becuase im workingout issues on getting form austin to fort hood but hehe, it will get here. So in the next few days info, info, info would be greatly appreiated from ppl getting into it and ppl like nativeman with years and years of experiance. Anyhoo, hopfully i gave u all enough t think about and you all will be getting back to me and my wife soon.

John and Kerie

I don't like canister filters because they need to be cleaned often to prevent nitrate problems. Stick to a good skimmer and sump w/ fuge
