wet/dry recommendations...

[schroedel]

I just got my 110 gal glass bowfront in. I need a new wet/dry filter and skimmer for it.I have only 30in length to work with.I would want an in sump skimmer for it. any recommendations? I was looking at a Berliner WD-125 Wet/Dry Filter
but the size of this leaves me with no extra space underneath but thats ok, but what skimmer?

also was looking at the megflow sump filter model 3 (up to 110 gal)also but not sure of a skimmer that will fit that.I would like model 4 since it goes up to 240 gal but i cant fit it so I would be at max. with model 3 but i guess thats ok. I hope you have some wise help for me.
I have on my 75gal tank that i am replacing , an amiricle really old sump and an old stand alone emperor aquatics series 6-1. Both would be at max on 110gal. and could not fit sump and skimmer under new tank.
thank you

What kind of tank are you trying to setup? For the most part I think wet/dry filters have fallen out of favor. They tended to be nitrate factories. Your live rock and live sand can do a much better job providing a substrate for bacterial growth than bioballs. Look for a sump with a micron bag to catch the water going into the sump and leave the rest of the sump for a large protein skimmer and a media reactor for carbon. And still have room to add a Calcium reactor and a media reactor for phosphates if you need or want to in the future.

Check out Precision Marine for some fine units, and also Lifereef.com for more excellent equipment. They are not cheap, but they are the best stuff.

Have you ever tried Aquatic Design Habitats? They make them out of 1/2" acrylic! Top notch and better built then anything else I have seen. Also with Lifereef your going to wait at least a year before Jeff builds it for you. LOL!!!
