Like said, if you have the money Eheim is definitely the way to go. It handles large bio-loads and pretty easy maintenance.

But, if you want to go a little cheaper, i'd go with the Rena Xp series. I have one xp1 on my 65 gallon, that's kinda getting overstocked lmao, and it handles the mess quite well. The only thing I hate about it is that the filter intake tube is kinda weak and the grating is so close together that it doesn't suck everything up. On mine I just took off the spray bar an dmade the water shoot out in one straight stream across the top of the water. Having the spraybar on just reduces water flow too much and oxygen levels get lower.
