ETSS skimmers are one of the most efficient. Maxijet power heads are the most reliable and quietest...

I'm really impressed with my Super needle wheel skimmer, quiet and pulling incredible amounts of junk from my tank. Skip the wet/dry all together and go for a refugium, you can make one out of a 50g tank and put it under your tank, plus they are a lot more fun to look at. If you design it right, it will hold your skimmer, pumps, heater etc...
