If it's going to be hidden under a canopy, then use an under-the-bed style rubbermaid (the short ones). I have an FX5 going full bore into the 18g rubbermaid dump filter I have. Put a lid on it and add 3-4 holes on the bottom and you'll be fine.
Or alternately, put a separate pump in the tank (that's how I filter both of my 150gs).
Keeping a basket of fluff (or a filter sock) on the dump (or sump) for mechanical filtration works wonders. It's much easier to change than a canister filter and keeps gunk out of your bio media. It's a bad idea to leave it out of a sump/dump.
