240 gallon filtration question.

[Blown 346]

I am looking to upgrade from my 125 to a 240 gallon from glass cages.com.

My questions are this. I would liketo keep this setup I have now.
From the far right is the drain, drip tray, then baffling, then to the far left is my return pump, skimmer pump. The skimmer sites outside of the sump.

I am looking for quality, the filtration I have on my 125 cost me $2,000. I would think I would be fine with what I have but am not sure. It measures 30X10X23.

Any help would be great.

What skimmer are you using?

Is this going to be FO?

Your skimmer is more than likely going to have to be replace at least. what model are you using and what is it rated for?

Yes this will be a FO tank. Most likely one species depending on what I decide to keep.

I am using a Top Fathom skimmer, It is only rated for a 150 gallon tank. I would like to get anothe Top Fathom skimmer rated at 350 gallons but it's 36 inches tall, and it wont fit under the stand.
