So I decided the 200g I found on CL would be saltwater. The problem is, I don't want one of those giant sump systems in my house. What are the advantages to having that over 2 power filters on the back of the tank?
 
Those giant sump thingees go under the tank and you barely see em. :) I was against them too until I tried it. You would need like 2 HUGE filters, like FX5 canisters in my opinion. A tank that size would benefit from a sump. A good place to hide the heaters, a place for your skimmer etc etc....
 
200 gallons is a lot of water ,,i don't think 2 HOB's will do a very good job of filtering the tank...
