Aqua Clear Pro 75 Wet/Dry Filter?

[todd1k]

I have a 46 bow front that I am setting up. I like this wet/dry because it has a built in skimmer and a place for my heater. It comes with everything including a prefilter and overflow for $179.95. Is this worth the money and will it be enough for my 46 setup?
Thanks!
Todd

Save your money and buy some Live rock and forget about the wet/dry. Its not needed.

what is needed for a tank?
Power filter, heater, skimmer, canister filter and what else?

Personally I do not like canister filters or wet/dry systems. What I feel that is needed is
1. a DSB
2. powerheads to move water
3. good lighting
4. a good heater
5. live rock
6. skimmer
The last one may be considered optional by some.
A refugium could be a great benefit also. Test kits to monitor the water would not hurt either. Just my opinion.
