Sorry, I don't use the wet/dry model, but I know some of our members have used one. Wait for one of them to post some details.

My Eheim is a 4x18x18 sump but its wet and dry so I suppose the principal is the same. I use Bio Balls, Gutter Guard, sponge and matting on the top. You could also use ceramic noodles. There is an Eheim media that a friend of mine just bought and it apparently has 4-5 times the surface area of Bio Balls, cant remember the name of it but Im sure your local Eheim dealer will.

Eheim wet/dry come with eheim subtrat pro. why use anything else. you can not find anything better then that, and they are very expensive at LFS.

I have used eheim wet/dry for few months now..and after few test...now i only use eheim subtrat pro that come with the canister...and also still use the pre-filter till today...
