Hm, good ideas.... I have a dry/wet setup right now and it's obviously
not working. Maybe I should just rip it out and rely on the protein
skimmer and my live rock (which I have copious quantities of). I could
also upgrade my power heads.

I had an Eheim Wet/dry filter. I now have about 130 pounds of live rock in a 125
gallon tank with a Tunze 6060, which generates 1600 gph flow. I was originally
intending to keep the Eheim running, but it sprang a leak.

The nitrites remain at 0. The nitrates build up at about the same rate as they
did with the Eheim. Based on this, I would definitely recommend the course of
action you're considering.

Based on what that other annoying little troll said, I will probably try
realigning the Tunze to produce more turbulence.
