Uhh....Why? You'd prolly be better off with sump/refugium. Not many reefers use wet/dry filters any more.

But if you're set on one I'd recommend the Aqueon/All Glass Model 4

Agree, wet dry really is used just for FW, not reef.

i'd spend the money on a better skimmer personally.

If money is not a problem get a custom acrylic sump and fuge all in one made. Or get a tank and do it yourself. A 50 to 55 tank for the sump would be great,, you would just need to add baffles, etc. Look in the DYI section, or on youtube there are good descriptions on how to make a sump.

Ok. Good points made by all. But, hey, you want a good wet/despite everything everyone says, here's two I like, but any wet/dry I would buy would be for a fish only tank:
1. http://www.fosterandsmithaquatics.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=22133. The advantage to this one is that you can use it as a true wet/dry system, or convert it to a berlin sump/skimmer system.
2. http://www.fosterandsmithaquatics.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=19052 . (Shhhhh. This one I actually use on my reef tank, but you have to realize the theoretical disadvantages of this over a true berlin sump/skimmer system. If you are a true SW virgin, I wouldn't recommend it for you)
