If you have no live rock, then a Wet/Dry filter is your best bet. That's what I run on my FO system.
You should have a very powerful skimmer on this system. I'd go with a AquaC EV, My Reef Creations, Euro Reef Recirc, or Deltec skimmer.
Beware of quality on that famous auction site. Many Wet/Dry units from that site are made from inferior materials that can fail prematurely. However, if you do your research, you can get good deals there.
BTW... I'm from Cumming as well! Cool! I'm off McFarland.
