If you want to think of it as a canister filter you can.
Basically its a 2' X 2' X 1.5' canister in the shape of a box.
It will have (4) pre-filter chambers and (1) large bio-media chamber.
Will flow 50% more water than an FX5 and cost 50% less.
Trick with sumps and mechanical filtration is upflow design like
I have used. Water has nowhere to go but thru several inches of
filter floss.
