Does it have to be a wetdry/trickle filter? Have you ever tried using a refugium? Don't quote me but for what you need you may have to custom build. I can help if that is the route you want to go. Just to let you know I prefer a refugium over wetdry/trickle. Let me know I can help either way you decide. Oh, almost forgot what size tank are you putting this on, what other equipment do you have, and will you be putting any equipment on or in this unit?

My tank size is 55 ga. I prefer a wet/dry to conceal under tank. Dimentions: 19 long 10 wide 14 high. I want wet/dry with complete set up protein skimmer, pump, hoses and tubing. Thanks for any info you can give.

For what you are looking for is going to be difficult but not impossible. If you don't want to build it yourself you will need to find a place that will custom build one. There is a site that has all of the internal parts to fit inside a 10 Gal Aquarium, but even with that the smallest you can get overall is 20 1/2" x 10 1/2" x 12 9/16". this is the site http://www.aquacrylics.com/aquarium_filters.htm, and there is another place that you can call and see if they will custom build one for you, http://www.midwestcustomaquariums.com/
Your space is really limited, and your options will be also, but like I said it is not impossible. Let me know if I can be of more assistance to you.
