Starting up a new Tank

I got what I think is a great deal on a 120 gallon Oceanic Reef ready tank and stand. I've been away from buying wet/drys for a few years, and want to make sure I get a good wet/dry and return pump. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

i have an oceanic 120 and use an eheim 1262. It all depends how you setup your sump / wet-dry.
what did you pay for it? new or used?
If i was buying a wet/dry these days i would look into eshopps. But you can also find plenty of used ones on other sites. If you are handy, easy to make one too.

Is there a particular reason why you want to do a wet/dry? From what ive been reading(if you are wanting to do a reef) than a refugium is the way to go. Not saying that wet/dry's are bad, or wont work in a reef, its just the stuff ive been reading says that the refugium will benefit you alot more, and do more helpful filtering than a wet/dry. Just my 2 cents though.

JDL, stand and tank for $880. It's new and I'll pick it up this weekend. I will look into the eshopps. Thanks for the advice.

Tanqueray, thanks for the response. I have not considered it, but will now. I've read abit about refugiums, and maybe should read a bit more. They seem to make alot of sense.
