I am officially committed with my first adventure into reefing. I have purchased the Recife Eco 40 gallon cube AIO. It has a protein skimmer included in the purchase, along with a pre-loaded media caddy. I have purchased the Current Orbit Marine R 24 dual lights with loop controller. Have a reef builder's Prism ATO, and a AQQA 200W heater with external controller. Have a Red Sea marine test kit coming and will be ordering 2 wave makers off Amazon, each 1000GPH. Return pump of this setup is rated at 475 GPH. Will be buying Caribsea Direct Ocean live sand and 35 lbs of live rock. Will start up the tank with real ocean water from lfs. Have a 10 gallon QT tank also ready to use.
