Not sure of wet/dry filter you have, but if it has sections, take out the bioballs and give those to your cat to play with. Fill this section with sand and put a light over it to grow cheato.
The other option is to sell the wet/dry and buy a tank at Petco's dollar a gallon sale and make a new sump with baffles. Buy the biggest tank that will fit under the stand....I'm guessing a 20 long.
