    Wet/Dry filters are usually a bad idea for reef tanks or tanks with live rock. They are ok for fish only tanks if you keep them clean.

    A good Protein skimmer and lots of live rock, anywhere between 1-2 pounds of liverock per gallon of water.
    Filters are pretty useless in a tank with plenty of rock and they eventually accumulate nitrates if you don't maintain them really well.

    Along with a good protein skimmer, do you have a sump? You cannot beat a good running sump with lots of cheato and live rock in it.
