Hey everyone,

Decided it’s the right time to get back in the hobby, haven’t kept salt water fish in over 8 years. My last tank was Red Sea max 35G.

I’m currently looking for good starter tanks that are all in one, under 45G.

All recommendations are appreciated.
I just set up a new Waterbox AIO 50.3 — slightly larger than 45 gal, but probably pretty similar in dimensions. It’s very nice and was easy to set up.

Welcome to the community! I highly suggest looking at Innovative Marine for a good tank. You can do an all in one or a complete reef with a sump (I love their 40 AIO)! Super easy to use and has been a great starter tank! :D

Just got it all setup! Cycle time!
Awesome, good to see!!

Now might be a good time to start a build thread so that we can all follow along with your project. You can also get yourself a spiffy "Build Thread Badge" for under your avatar.


Good luck with your new tank!
