Really? This wet/dry isn't big enough? At one point I was looking at an Eshopps wet/dry and the one rated for 120 gallon tanks was the same exact size as the one I have. If the one I have is too small, then so be it. I'm torn on using it or not anyway (as you can tell by this thread).
Here's my bottom line...I just want something that will be super effective overall for mechanical and bio filtration and will be as easy to maintain as possible. I love the 110's because they are so easy to access, clean, and maintain. I also hate them because they require the tank to be so far away from the wall - but I can deal with that. I thought I could fill the 110's with sponges for mechanical and bio filtration and then use the wet/dry for additional bio - that or a canister filter like the XP3 or XP4.
Since I already have a brand new wet/dry, I figured I would use that...but if you're telling me it's too small, then I'll just sell it and get a canister. Anyone interested in a brand new wet/dry with a brand new pump and all the plumbing

P.S. My tank is not drilled but I can fit the 110 and the overflow box on one side of the tank so that's not an issue.
No, like I said, it's big enough, it's just not 'extra big' so I was suggesting still running both AC110s. You certainly wouldn't have to, but it would help. They're mostly for the mechanical with the wet/dry.
If you're cool with setting up the overflow and plumbing, the wet/dry is by far the best bio filter you're going to get. Anything extra you should just be running for mechanical (it'll add bio anyway). They're a lot, lot less complicated than they seem at first.
