Has much changed in 3 1/2 years?

I sold my reef-pi controlled 75g, sump, algae scrubber, dosers, salt change station, all with reefi lights almost 4 years ago to take a 3 year job in Hawaii. Well, time is up and headed to Miami in the next couple months so am researching a new build lol. I think this time around I want to go with a reef ready pico or nano setup or maybe even a DIY pico jar if those are still a thing? When I was getting out, waterbox was kind of the goto for AIO. Reef-pi was huge for the DIY'r, and the SPS Pico Jar with 100% water changes was getting great results. Has much changed? What are the best AIO nano and pico's for SPS these days?

I've only been in the hobby for almost a year now. But based on the vast research and up and down forums. Most is still relevant from 4 years ago. Only thing that changed was prices lol.

Any ideas on what size you want?

I have a 25g, 4.8g, 2.5g and 1g tank. So a mixture for sure lol.

You want the best without caring about the wallet lol?

Yeah, I was mind of thinking if i could find something 1-5 gallon with premium light ready to run and go from there.

Well I actually just started a tank for my GF. Deskmate 4.8G tank. Its a nice looking tank and the back chambers have plenty of room.

It does come with a light, but nothing impressive for SPS. So I repurposed my kessil.

I've only been in the hobby for a couple of years. Stuff that is 5 or more years old is still relevant today!
