I wondered myself how to turn my old wet/dry into a fuge, but really couldn't come up with a way to use the bioballs. You would just have to put a couple baffles in since the wet/dry has the primary chamber to begin with, but i just couldn't see a way to do it so i made my own sump/fuge

I converted mine over. It may not be the prettiest but it is functional and works pretty good. Here is a link where I have posted about this before. Hope it helps.
