recommendations on a pre-built wet/dry filter

[koester]

ok I need some recommendations on a good pre-built wet/dry filter that will fit a 75gal fish tank that can hold a skimmer and a 300watt heater and a pump. I should probably note that I will have to have overflow box as my tank isn't drilled and I don't want to drill it and the bottoms tempered glass so if I did drill it the hole would have to be on the back.

Building one isn't completly out of the question but im use to canister filters and I never messed with wet/dry filters and im worried I will do something wrong if I build one myself and that it will leak so im looking for pre-builts for now.

Thanks in advance.

I would just use a prebuild 20 gal tank or a rubbermaid tub. Wet/dry filters and mechanical filters are not great for saltwater tanks. The maintenance they require to improve water quality instead of hindering it is more than most people want to deal with. I would instead get what i suggested above, and use a good skimmer and fuge. Those are your best and easiest options.

I agree -- you can save hundreds of dollars by making your own out of an empty aquarium or plastic container.
