Im thinking about getting one for my 240 gallon tank

I used the biggest one, the C360, on my 58 gal. African cichlid tank. I liked it. Holds a lot of media, if I remember correctly the 360 has 4 media chambers. It had decent flow and was almost silent when running. My only criticism was that it was tricky to get the baskets inserted properly after cleaning. This is a function of the no-bypass design.
I might be leery of running it on my reef for that reason, being kinda lazy I might not clean it as often as I should in a marine environment. If you really want a canister filter, take look at the Rena xp4. The Rena's are a little easier to take down to clean in my experience.
