this would be a decent “cheap” option. Hygger has always done good by me. I wouldn’t waste the money on the other 2.

I like what you’re doing there! I’ve got a modded 13.5 EVO myself :) 1 year in… I will say FROM EXPERIENCE twice in this thing though, you should’ve waited on the bubble tip at least another 6 months… also, ditch that nasty fluval foam block… those are an ammonia breeding ground. The skimmer is useless in a tank this small. Weekly water changes of 10-15% will take care of what a skimmer does on a tank this size… I recommend ditching the skimmer, too, getting an InTank media basket for the first chamber and converting the second into a micro fuge. These little upgrades will work wonders if you’re going reef

Nice dude, could you attach a photo please?

Im running AI Nero 3
You can kinda see it in the first pic I posted in the thread. I don’t have any more photos, unfortunately. I’ve since upgraded the tank to a 40b.
