Get rid of the wet/dry now. Step away from the computer and go tear that thing out. No, no, come back and keep reading. Fuges are they way to go. Do you have a problem with your nitrates getting up over 10-15 in less than 2 months? I don't. How much rock do you have in your display tank? As long as you have at least 1.5# to the gallon, you should get rid of that nitrate producing wet/dry. Some people keep the wet/dry housing and replace the bioballs with LR rubble with a little algae over it and a light next to the inlet of the W/D. This would at least help till you can get a full blown fuge set up. If you do switch, only switch half the balls at first, then switch the rest in two weeks to a month to keep the bacteria levels steady, don't want to lose anything in the tank from shocking the system.
I have a 10g fuge under my 55G display. I've got some rubble rock(5#), a few small blue hermits, and the caulerpa racemosa(grape stuff). I am trying to get my hands on some chaetomorpha, but no luck so far. I am going to set-up a larger fuge in the near future that can handle more water flow and have a lrger area to be divided into filtration areas with different algaes. I also want to move my skimmer down below the tank.

daceman,
can you tell me how big your show tank is and how much rock is in it. That is about how I want my rock to look.

anyone have some Cheato they would be willing to sell, possibly give...:D...in about a week. I would be willing to pay for shipping, and maybe a small fee. I have PayPal or can do money orders or cashier check. Just a baggy or 2 full would be AMAZING!. You can email me a bmod06@yahoo.com or just post here to work things out. Thanks all!!:)

reviving an old thread that sounds like it probably had some nice looking fuges. anyone feel like posting theirs again (or for the first time)?.
I'm setting up a 55 fuge for a 125 DT soon and always like seeing pics of others :)
thanks
