I have a wild group of Frontosa living in a 135 with home aid wet dry home depot buckets scrubbies etc it does well but im upgrading to a 8ft 240 gallon tank in a few weeks and would like to add a bad ass wet dry to it. I have a Eheim 2260 also and it will stay of course. I appreciate the advice in advance. Love the site!
Whats the cadillac of wet dry's for a fresh water tank?

Lol They all do the same thing... Buy a Toyota it's more reliable trust me they all do the same.
Turn your 135 into the sump with a wet dry section at both ends and a cetera return. Good diy project!
If I was spending money it wouldn't be on a 450 dollar sump that I could build for half but I am cheap. Mind you it does look very good quality
You should build one yourself. You will end up with a much better filter. Get a multilevel drawer and put that in a sump tank and use a pre-filter before it, and use cermedia. Cermedia is what is used in bakki showers. It is great. It is MUCH more effective than cheap pot scrubbers and bio-balls. It is the best media you can get. Just make sure you have good mechanical filtration before it, as you do not want debris getting caught up in it.
Wet/Dry is to bulky and has maintenance. I'd go Kaldness all day. Small, extremely efficient, no maintenance and quiet for the win
