Default Idea for new goldfish tank

hello bro, sis, shifu...

I hv an existing tank 4x2x2 and have 8 gf size from 4-6" inside. realise that my water is too deep and also too crowded for my gf to grow.

As my kids and I prefer to have glass tank instead of tub, I am thinking to upgrade it to 5x2.5x1.5.

my current tank is using few canister filter linked to each other as i used it for my previous planted tank.

my question is should i continue to use my canister filter or should i change to sump tank and linked to OHF?

can anyone share your setup for the filter system of glass tank?

thanks in advance

RG

Sumptank will accumulate bacteria better than ohf or canister.

A fusion of both sump and OHF. Goldfishes being a high bioload producer, would require good filtration else you will face a lot of problems in future and if you were to start dosing medications into the tank, all hell will break loose.
