Skilter Okay Instead Of Wet-dry Sump?

[sahmof2]

Hi,

I currently have a 55 gal reef setup using a wet-dry sump for filtration. I purchased a 100 gal tank and stand and was thinking about using a skilter (hangon filter and protien skimmer in one) unit. I would prefer to use the skilter due to quieter than a sump setup and less worry of leaks. I will be transfering the 55 gal setup to the 100 gal tank which has 110 pds of live rock. My lfs recommends skilter units but I have heard of people not satisfied with them online. Possible some people online may not have set it up correctly. Please tell me what you all think and why.


Thanks

if its a wet dry in a reef tank with all that live rock, then the wet dry is pretty much pointless..... You dont need a wet dry. And if you drill you have less of a chance of leaks and spilling.
