ussually if you gte a drilled tank you wouldn't use a canister, you would use a wet dry or some kind of sump/refugium, i think.

If the tank is drilled then you'll want to go with a sump/refugium idea. The reason being the more water volume you have the more stable your system.
Wet/Drys just don't hold enough water to be extremely useful. As far as filters go, you really only need Live Rock as a filter, about 1-2 lbs. per gallon of water, no need for mechanical filtration on a SW tank.
