Hello Everyone!

My name is Tanya and my husband and I are looking to get back into the hobby. We used to be heavily involved while we lived in FL. I was a member of a Tampa Bay Reefers. It was a lot of fun and really miss it. So we now own our house up in NH and find there isnt much resouces as there was in FL. But anyway we are going to get back into hobby, but not as much as we were before. We had a 125g setup and I also had a dwarf seahorse set up which is my avatar pic :) We are are really wanting to get a all in one really wanted to Innovative Marine 30L. or something similar. We are going to slowly get all supplies we need/want. I look forwarded to getting to know you and see your wonderful setups.

Thanks everyone! Yes we will be going slow. Does anyone have opinions on best all in one? Should we go as small as 30l? I like shallow. I dont like deep. :)

Shallow and deep are relative so you may have to clarify. 30g is very reasonable, but I'm sure that you already know that more water volume usually equals more stability. Your choice of corals will also help to determine how shallow and how much volume. Do you just want to work with frags? Do you want to grow out softies? Do you want to have LPS corals?

Very true. Yes I dont want to go to small. I'd like to do a little bit of everything maybe not everything. I dont think there is a tank big enough for that. :) I just dont think I want to go as big as 125g again. 125 I felt was to tall. Probably because I'm so short :p

IM Nuvo Fusion Pro tanks also include a 40g and 50g AIO. Another option would be to go with a 40g breeder tank.
