The canister will allow for less flow by of the water.
option 2, less working parts and you can fine tune the flow in. You want to use raw water into your fuge.
You are going to about 6 ft of head with the description you gave. You won't need one to the sump. Use 1/4" acrylic for baffles.
Why not all three?
You can use the fluval for both mechanical and chemical filtration. I have a 205 that I use right now and will use when I complete my new build....
Just put it up high where it will get good light and strong flow. Keep your calcium and alkalinity up and make sure your magnesium is at about 1300....
Adjusting will be trial and error. Split your return flow to help in evening out your flow. Stay away from actinic bulbs if you are growing SPS and...
Use the egg crate to suspend them.
Give them time, they may not drop off until they are an inch or larger in diameter. I think that inch will be their skeleton.
Use two nets, one in both hands, after you have made them fat and happy with food and confined them with egg crate.;D;D
Those look and sound like T5 NO bulbs. It may measure 16" but it is called 20".
You have enough flow for your desired goal. BTW a 6X54W T5HO system will work perfectly well for SPS corals and clams.
You have a one to two hour dry to touch time on paint provided you get it covered completely the first time. Changing the sand with the move is...
Generally just anemones. Some torch family corals do OK.
I agree on the sand, The Eheim filter is the one I would get, the skimmer looks good. Carbon is always good to use. It will cause no problems with...

It can be good if you get it and immediately get it in your tank. If they have pulled it out and had it sitting around for a while not so good.
Thanks, can't wait to see your build.
Good luck, sorry for you losses, good thing you had the generator
Pretty deep blue, but great looking tank. You know the actinics have about 1/3 the PAR of the blue plus so they are not putting much usable light...
