I have used this site over many years for advise and whatnot. I have been doing fish only tanks for 20+ years off and on mostly because of several moving and kids. I have a simple 75 with HOB filters now in my forever home. I started playing with some simple corals and I’m hooked. I have never been a big fan of the HOB with saltwater but they do work fine with extra water flow. I plan to, in 2026, build a new 120 gal setup with a drilled tank and sump. The big part is the tank will be built into the cabinet to match the others I have built.
