excessive filtration?

I have heard that there is no such thing as excessive filtration. I am a believer that if it is possible, the more quality filtration, the better.

However, I have come to a point where too much is too much

I have a 90 gal semi reef with dual overflows and 160 lbs of live rock and a 4 inch live sand bed with crush coral substrate under fine grain sand. I'm building a sump with a 40 gallon capacity to replace my old one.

Inside, I'm going to have a refugium chock full of chaeto. I already have some in my main tank just to keep there for now. I also have a PM ES-100 skimmer. I have two media reactors, one for carbon and one for phosban.

I'm considering bulding a coil denitrier to complete this beast of a filtration system I have. It sounds like a great idea (simply because I have the patience of a chubby and hungry 8 year old staring in the window of an icecream shop, while doing the truffle shuffle coupled with the fact that I love to DIY) but It may be a little excessive.

The goal is pretty common. Get the nicest corals and most fish stuffed in one area as possible. I figured getting a denitrifier would give me the ability to not worry about my bioload causing system problems.

any thoughts?
 
if you want one of the most incredible filtration methods...look into the zeovit method and system.

the nay-sayers will say it doesnt work...

but from the overwhelming testimonies of users testify that it is the most incredible approach to this day.

of course, this is just my opinion. i use it, have noticed already drastic improvements in coral health, color coming back and growth in a green pocci that never did anything but just stay the way it did when i got it two years ago.

but, of course, this is just my opinion. ;)
