I want a denitrifier so powerful it can suck the nitrates out of an unopened pack of cheap hot dogs from across the kitchen.

LoL thats hillarious
I would get an eheim 2217 with a UV steralizer in the tubing or somewhere else. I also would purchase a diatom filter for those special days when you want to polish the water and make it look real nice. I than would add an AC 110 so that you easily can put things in such as carbon and what not. What are you planning on putting in the tank that would create so much nitrates?
I am just looking to buy a really great filtration system. I have set a budget for $500 and I am curious as to see what everyone else would want to use if they had the money. I am currently trying to decide between the Marineland Bio-Pro 350 and the Eheim 2227 or even the Eheim 2229 (really expensive)
Pentair Lifegard system. Mechanical, Chemical/Bio, Heater, and UV chambers. So easy to maintain. Do an incredible job. I would think that way (maybe it is because i have a lifegard filter and have no Eheims), www.drsfosterSmith.com has the system. you can look at photos.
Yup, that's definitely a setup I want to have some day Sully. They don't seem to be very popular, but I have only heard good things about the system from the people that do use them.
With 500 bucks to spend to filter a 55 gallon tank I would probably install a continious (sp?) drip system with an overflow and a sump.

Hey Abraham, I'm planning a 'fuge for my upcoming reef tank but I haven't seen one used for FW. Could you describe your setup? I assume you have plants in your refugium for nitrate removal, or do you use an anaerobic bed, or both?

can you actually buy this as some kind of package / set? or is it all do it yourself type deal?
but i agree the pentair lifegard inline filter looks stunning! the fludized bed filter bio module alone is worth it, no other bio filter is as efficient! the added external heater and easy to use uv module would beat any canister imo.
As a programmer by day, I like how they modularized the whole setup as oppose to a canister where you jam everything into a big bucket. Much easier to maintain, debug and upgrade/replace.
so yeah this is my dream filter

Interesting comment. What do you base this on? Since most reviews globally are favorable, and mine works equally as well or better than any others I have or have owned including Eheim, Fluval and others. I would also be willing to bet that you don't own one, and have never owned one.
