i think that actually sounds reasonable, with the corner over flows. persoanlly for canaster filter i would go with at least two of them my own leaning are to eheim, but i also like the marineland C series or the Sunsun clones of of them.

I have a 2262 on a 180,along with a 2180(overkill). So if you go with just 1,a 2262,or 2260 would get the job done IMO. You can always use your Koralia's to help with water movement if needed.
67, What do you use for filter media in the 2262...looks like I'm gonna have to spend at least an additional $100 to fill it up. Any recommendations?
I bought,
10L of Efisubstrat
5L of Ehfimech
5L of Ehfifix
2L of Ehfisynth
I have in it (approx) 8L of substrat,5L of mech,3L of fix,and 2L of synth.
I have heard of people just filling them up with Seachem Matrix,and then putting some Ehfifx and Synth on the top.
It kind of depends on what your stock is. A 2262 holds so much media,the combinations of what you can put in it are as big as the filter!
In case you don't know about KensFish, here is a link. This is where I got mine,and all that expensive media,

Wow...great link 67...thanks. Hopefully the shipping isn't horrific. I was planning on using BigAls...they have free shipping on orders over $75.
That Seachem Matrix looks awesome...and affordable. I was considering using Bio-Bale, but this looks much better. I think I'll use 3l Mech, 3l Fix, 8l Matrix, then 1l Purigen and the rest floss or synth...or adjust mech and fix to fill the canister. You're right...the possibilities are endless.
