Hi! I’m looking to get my first saltwater aquarium. My idea is a 55ish gallon setup? Does anybody have a super affordable setup I could copy? Thanks!

Cheap 55G tank is likely going to be 12" width which can be done, but is not ideal for a reef tank. Consider a 40G breeder or 60G+.

Something people take seriously in reefing that you think just isn't that serious.
