Hi. What do people recommend for a beginner AIO aquarium for fish and corals? Is the Fluval 32.5 decent? I need one that would have a stand available for it. Thanks in advance.
 
Things to consider when purchasing an AIO is all about the rear chamber, is it big enough to keep the equipment back there, is the tank deep enough for your heaters and skimmers etc,
If the AIO is small enough you can employ the WWC technique of 50% Water Changes weekly. So no really skimmers needed, only return pump aka upgrade wave pumps and a heater with light.
