Good Day! Well I just went a head and started building. I went with the FijI Cube 32 EXT, the size felt like a good compromise. Had a little adventure with UPS getting it here but they managed to get the 3rd one in one peace. AIO tank was very temping coming as a kit and basic filtration built in, but part of the hobby to me is all the gear and the extension of the display into the sump area. Based in part on that I went with a Fiji Cube 20” Sump, I wanted room for reactors and mini refugium. Other gear so far I have is Hydra return pump, Tunze ATO, BRS Heater and Controller, BRS Mini Reactor, Hanna Test Kits, and APEX EL. I have an old Kessil A -150 and some other power heads and pumps. Need couple lights probably A360x & H160 and a skimmer.
I have rock in a tank with heat, flow, microbactor7 dosing, and whole shrimp apx monthly. It has been going over a year so far. That should help me a long. Also have a bag of live special grade sand ready to go.
Stocking the tank will be an adventure, no LFS in area. Phoenix is about 3 hours away and has a handful of nice stores left. Will probably get fish that way and make cool trips out of it. Then will probably order coral online....
I think plan will be something like:
2x clowns
1 Tinny Yellow Tang
1 6 line
1 Blenny
Mixed Reef:
Bright Zoos
Duncans
Something
