Make your own. Bioballs are starting to become dated with all these new submerged and fluidized medias on the market. You'll save a ton of money, increase water volume, and have a better filter when all is said and done.

To me, a wet dry is basically a sump, (in other words), a box to put stuff in.
So I use old scratched up aquariums or barrels for sumps, and design the filtration components however they fit.
I suppose the ease of a pre-made wet dry may be worth it, but I feel their cost compared to something that is easily put together, is not worth it.

I have both the Proclear and two Aqualine's on 3 of my tanks (proclear on my 144, and the aqualines on my 92 corner and 240). Both are nice filters, easy to maintain, and have pull out trays to change the filter pads - which was the main reason I didn't like the Eshopps wet/drys. I will admit that I prefer the Proclear by a slim margin because the build quality seems a bit better; however, I wasn't able to find a larger wet/dry from Proclear anywhere, so I went with the Aqualine. I have two aqualines, and for the price, they continue to serve me well.
