skimmer or wet dry

[squeige]

Hi guys I have a millenium 400 "wet dry" filter, everyone keeps telling me to get rid of its not worth it, I am thinking of getting a remora pro and just getting rid of the millenium, any suggestions?
I have a 55 gallon tank with about 30-40 pounds of live rock, 10 hermit crabs, 2 damsels and 2 turbo snails??

A hang-on skimmer is much better suited for reefs then a wet/dry. I heartily endorse getting a skimmer.

If the millenium is a Below the tank wet dry, you could use it as a sump. Just get rid of the bioballs and put the skimmer in there.

That's a HO power filter. You could keep it for added circulation and remove the wet/dry components. A remora would work great.

ho power

I think he just meant that's it a hang-on. Sometimes they'll say HOT (hang on tank) or HOB (hand on back).

lol thanxs dude that clears it up well ill order my skimmer today, remora pro with a mag 300, i do have a rio in there so i don`t think ill need my wet dry any way of saving it witout destroying it?? ie should i was with water and throw away the biowheels??
last question i added calcium and changed the carbon filters i don`t what caused it but today my tank is really foggy any idea why?

Likely you added too much calcium and it precipitated out of solution. Be careful when you dose additives; it's always best to test instead of dosing blindly, and always start with low dosages and work up.
