converting filters

[beamerz3pa]

i have a 75 gal reef tank for 10 months. I am tired of the 2 canister filters and would like to convert. I also have a protein skimmer, and a penguin wet-dry hang-on. Is the ecosystem filters worth the money? any advice please send to beamerz3pa@yahoo.com thanks

let me put it this way....build your own ecosystem. save TONS of cash by using a 20 or 30g tank with plexiglass dividers between the chambers. one for your skimmer, one for the return and one for a possible refugium....using the miracle mud if you like that aspect of the Ecosystem. just my thoughts. oh yeah, home depot will cut the plexiglass to the exact dimensions you need!! how much easier could it get?!
also, how much live rock do you have? imo I would sell the wet/dry since you stated you have a reef and let the skimmer and lr take care of the filtration.
