So what’s the DYI guys biggest complaints on equipment or modifications? I see a lot of responses but no specifics. What are these new PNP tanks missing? What would you change if you resigned a PNP all tank?

I want an AIO with everything I like in it. But they don't make one... yet.
Exactly... and a few other reasons... lolFor me, I just didn’t know about them when I did my 180, I’m not sure if they were around then or maybe just coming out. I still would not do one, just due the the ability to modified Is a lot easier if you set up your own tank. You know all the plumbing and what parts are needed and how to fix or change what you want easily.

Yes. I am guessing anything over 300g will be DIY.Building out a system, including actually building some of the components, is most of the fun. Tank by numbers seems completely boring. BUT, I’m at the very high end of the tank size spectrum where it’s almost all DIY.
Why don’t you trust? Personal experience or have you heard horror stories? Please share!I also just thought about most of the complete tanks are rimless for some reason. I don’t trust those.
What kind of flexibility are you talking? Aio? They are definitely limiting. Now if they had an aio 120 with a 30 gallon sump...I'd rather build from the ground up. While complete systems are appealing, they lack the flexibility we sometimes need in the hobby.

I thought the discussion was PNP vs build DIY. So a 30-40g sump under a 100+ gallon PNP tank is what I imagined we was discussing.An AIO with a 30 gallon sump wouldn't be an AIO.
Processed wood products made of fibers or particles MDF board.Please elaborate more? The materials? The durability?
