i'd reccomend a sump/refugium instead of a wetdry. bioballs tend to be a nitrate trap. You can set it up easily with the fish in it. I'm going to assume your tank isnt reef ready. You'll just need to purchase an overflow.

not that clear of a link,

Lemme just say that wet/dry's are obselete POS

they will surely bring the death of ur tank in a few months, do yourself a favor and visit melevsreef.com and click on his sump pics. Im a visual man myself you'll see the difference between a refugium, a sump, and the crap a wet/dry is.

where are you getting your info? LFS?

canister filters are also a big no no, unless theres no sponges in it and maybe some carbon that is changed out FREQUENTLY.

they can be as bad as wet/dry's as well
