Default Filtration question

Hello everyone,

After reading a few of the posts on this site, I thought I should join as there seems to be ALLOT less flaming or bashing than on other unnamed sites.

I guess I should start with the setup. 135 FOWLR, approx. 80lbs rock and 90lbs of live sand or so. Wet/Dry w/ Kent Nautilus skimmer, emp 400 for movement and some mechanical, 18watt u.v. and one extra 802 pwr head for movement.

I am not new to saltwater, but I am fairly new to wet/dry filters. I have one now, with a Kent Nautilus skimmer in the sump area but it has developed a slow leak somewhere, and I am going to replace it. I am seeking advice for my selection. I have looked at several with built in skimmers, such as proclear, but don't know anything about their skimmers. Would I be better off just buying the wet dry and placing my Kent in the sump again, or trying one of these all in one filters? And finally, how much difference does it make if the skimmer is placed before or after the bioballs? Thanks in advance for any help. TxHarley
