Ok, so i just got rid of 130 lbs of rock from my 90 gallon, so i have gotten rid of a good amount of my filtration. I still have some garbage 10 year old fluval (which is rated for a 50 gallon), so safe to say i need a good filtration system to compensate for taking out a lot of my rock. What is a unit you guys would recommend. When i went to my lfs i was told to buy the Eheim Professional 2 or a professional 3. After looking at their website i realized they make a wet/dry filter, should i go for one of those instead.

The rock was taken out so i could have a synthetic reef. there is also 130 lbs ls.
My stock list would be
1 tang (still not sure, maybe powder brown, or a boring old yellow)
1 angel (probably a dwarf, as normal angels get HUGE)
1 pink square anthias
2 True percula clowns
2 gobies (yellow watchman, purple fire fish)
1 purple pseudochromis

I think wet dry would be best and you could even add fuge later to this if you decide to.

the wet/dry seems like a pretty decent unit. But i still wonder whether or not to do a sump. What makes me not want a sump is because of the fact that my place is above a garage. So the less water above my cars the better i feel. The wet/dry i am looking at is around 400 including tax, are sumps typically cheaper than that???
for the eheim wet/dry
I found online you can get the one rated for a 90 gallon for $240
the one rated for a 150 is about $320
Being that my tank is 90 gallons and i want about 8 fish should i get the one rated for my tank, or just pay more and get the one rated for a larger aquarium. Do you feel it would have any difference, since i am only going to be keeping hardy fish?
