Anyone got a tank with built in wet dry?

[camp6]

I have a 90g reef at work, and was thinking of setting up a smaller, 20-40 gallon at home. I have seen a couple of acrylic tanks with built in wet dry filters in the back, that even have a space for a skimmer. does anyone here have one? and what do you think of it?

Sorry, mate, I haven't got one currently. Used to have a hang-on type, though. It was decent enough, but the skimmer sucked. I know that there are some pretty good makers out there, thinking of something similar to the CPR HOT's, they make a 'fuge, skimmer, and IIRC a wet-dry as well.

And if no one else has, I'd like to welcome you to reefs.org.

Zis for a FO or reef? Not too many people use wet/dry for a reef.

I had one, it was an aquarisystem I believe. Loved it because of space issues. I took the wet/dry balls out and converted that chamber to a fuge/sump.

I'm currently using an S & S brand, converted to a refugium as well. I velcro'd a mini might to the back to light the macroalgae. It's convenient having a sump that's at the same level as the tank. I've never had an issue or problem, but some might not like the limited size.

I have a 20g clear for life. the rear area is about 5 gallons. i took out the bioballs and put LR in the back... I also removed the weenie rio 600 and put a maxijet 1200 in there.. works great...

I have my setup in the nano forum.... it is still going thru the begining stages....

I use a CSl 65w smartlight... it is plenty the viewing area is only 14-15 gallons before LR and sand.
