Default which filtration system for 170 gallon oceanic bowfront tank? (saltwater with coral)

i have a 170 gallon 2 overflow salt water tank with coral. I need a new filtration system. I have 2 small system combined by a tube with a skimming connected to both. the problem is that the 2 containers arnt balanced. Money is not an issue as long as I find a high quality product that wont require much maintenance. the items i plan on using again are:
1. Protein skimmer
2. overflow tubes
3. pumps

I looked at this product but didnt like the reviews (please use http and www since i cant post links due to my first post):
amazon.com/Aqueon-34503-ProFlex-Model-120-210-Gallon/dp/B003C5P6VI

The other product i am looking at that i would like input on is:
fishtanksdirect.com/wetdrytricklefilter45-225gallonsbyadhifreeshipping.aspx

Thanks for your help on my first post,
Adam

Stay away from a Bio Ball set-up, they are not needed, and they will give you a headache. Keep it simple with this one. Center section, throw in Chaeto in the center section or Culpera. You can use Sand but its not needed. You don't need an elaborate set-up for a Fuge. But, I like the 2nd one though, that baby is tight.
