sump or wet dry?

[beyondpostal]

Which is better for the long run? I have a 125gallon tank and want the best suggestions for a long lasting and succesful setup. right now i have a proclear wet dry fur up to 125gallons, but i have an extra 40 gallon aquarium that i can use for whatever would be beneficial.

Reef or Fish only?
Wet Dry filters are thought to be nitrate factories, & not so good for reef tanks.

reef and some fish is what i have in the 125g now.

sump

set it up with baffles and external skimmer?

[chrischris]

well you could make the skimmer internal but external works to

[beyondpostal]

so bio balls are nitrate factories. i was wandering why i couldnt keep my nitrates down.......

[grallster]

If you have a decent amount of live rock it should handle all the biological filtration on its own.
So I vote sump with a large skimmer.
