Not too sure how those work. Seems to be a good deal of settlement area (although for that many gallons a lot is needed!) .... and nice sized UV (I think?), but I'm not seeing much media for biofiltration. I'd also be concerned regarding purging those, since they look flat-bottomed and seem to have a good bit of sediment. Having them exposed to full sun will also gunk up the media with algae. It is reminescent in concept to the DIY filters Florida Aqua Gardens used on their tosai holding tanks years back when they were in Apopka, Fl area. They used much more media. It worked for their purpose.
