Hello! I've been in the freshwater hobby for about 28 years now, still have 2 tanks. Lately I've been interested in trying saltwater side. I've done many research and countless of Youtube videos including BRS 52 weeks. I'm still on the fence as it's quite an expensive hobby and seems there's a lot of problems that can occur within the saltwater world which is what's holding me back as of now. I had been debating with myself if I should start with a small nano tank just to get a taste which I know can be challenging for a new reefer and see if I can handle it or as I read from many others that to go big as I can. Currently eyeing the Waterbox Cube 20, Marine X 60.2 or 90.3. I've never had a sump before and it seems sump is the way to go if I were to go bigger. If I do dive in, I would like to do a mix reef of Softie/LPS with some clownfish, blennies, goby/pistol shrimp and possibly other nano fish.
Let's say if I were to get the Marine X 90.3 which is a 3 ft tank, would it be better if I get one XR15 G5 or two AI Prime HD with softies/LPS in mind as it's nearly the same price?
Thanks for your time reading my introduction!
