Canister filters are usually not very useful in reef tanks because they tend to trap detritus

 

I would get as large of a sump as you can instead

I agree with poop cola. Don't use canister filters. Also, with that current design you'd flood your apartment every time you took your filters apart for cleaning.

canisters dont work too well with overflow boxes, they would pull air, unless u had a ball valve to cut down the drain,

if u realy have to, buy a canister with ball valves on the in and out, or install them urself, so u dont flood ur floors.

you need to put a checkvalve on the way up to your tank. As for the canister filter, I would get a huge a%$ sump. Better to have a sump; would not trap as much detrious + more water volume = :)
