Hey fellas I have a aquarium 72"x24"x24" that's about 180 gallons .... I am looking for the cheapest and most cost effective filtration method I can build...

ur filtration needs can only be determined by the type of fish and amount u want to keep in there, 2 60gal whispers will do fine if u jus keeping sum angels but not goldfish... U cAn build ur own cannister filter wid simple materials, jus need a pump sum PVC and media

Lol nope nope nope
You goal should be to filter system that is 1.5 times what is required,
So you would need a filter with the capacity of at least 270 gals.
I would also advise that you use at least two filters on either side to prevent dead spots.

This is a cascade 1500, it's costly but does what it says, you would need this as a minimum.
As far as building your own, depending on where its located, you can build an over head bucket filter using a submersible in tank pump, and cheap filter media, numerous vids on YouTube for this.
Feel free to to ask me any further questions.

I think for now u can build a bucket filter, where can I get that cascade to buy

He could also cut an over flow on the aquarium and route it to a 2 feet tank under the main aquarium, there he coukd set up multifiltering and a bio chamber... with a submersible to pump back in the system...
I find pressurized cannisters tend to detiriorate over time, maybe because of extra pump strain.

Who can cut this for me, I think that is the best method

[rx80]

Most glass shops can cut it but they dont like to once the aquarium is assembled..look around and see who can and use a large hole you can always reduce it after.. get one of the bulkhead fittings from a large water tank so you can thread the pipe onto it after..get the bulkhead first so you can se the diameter to cut..
