Has anyone used Pro Clear Aquatics Wet/Dry Filters before. I was thinking of going that route instead of a canister filter.

I like to make my own sumps, alot more customizable, cheaper and if something goes wrong you have someone to blame.
I'd agree with that. A good sized sump would do the job better than all the canister filters you could afford.
have seen them sumps never heard anything bad about them.... you should be fine with it and have no problems.... you can use the search feature in this forum and the diy forum there is more than enough info to answer all of your questions...

We have a Pro Clear Aquatics 400 which provides excellent biological filtration for our 300 gallon tank. Using an overflow box, we have minimal mechanical filtration with the Pro Clear. We have an entirely separate filtration system for mechanical filtration, and with uptakes 1/4" from the bare floor, debris/feces is quickly removed from the tank.
If you want to use a wet dry system exclusively, you should consider making your own. You could add a large mechanical component to your wet/dry system. I've heard of people adding a powerhead to stir up debris in the water to hopefully get the debris up to the overflow box.
If you have a large tank, a wet/dry system will provide you with great biological filtration. I would recommend additional mechanical filtration (which a canister filter would provide).
