Hi, new here, not to saltwater tanks tho. Used to be on the old and seems to be defunct Reefland forums. I’m getting old I guess. Used to have a 75 gallon tank with old school MH lights and few corals, nothing crazy, zoa’s, mushrooms, a few montipora chunks that grew like a weed, birdsnest sps. Homemade 20L sump with reef octopus skimmer, refugium, etc. nothing crazy but broke it down when we had our first child cause the fish room became the nursery. Well 9 years later, and another child. Our little 30 gallon cube that is 12 years old is time for an upgrade. In process of building a stand now, but we’re looking at the Waterbox AIO 65.4. Like the idea of not having a sump, even though I still have my old skimmer and return pump for it. Just seems like it’s convenient to have everything built into the back. I get the lack of space for better equipment, but I think with routine maintenance, low bioload; small fish, 6-8 total; clown pair, few chromis, dwarf angel, gramma, goby/pistol pair, blenny, it can be good. Small skimmer in a chamber, etc. but seeing lots of new methods of filtration… da hell is a fleece roller? Haha. But yea getting pretty excited to get a bigger tank up and running. See lots of really nice waterbox 65 aio’s on here and YouTube and stuff, so getting fired up to get a nice tank going again. AI prime lights, AI nero 3 or 5, just getting ideas for equipment, doing it right. Anyway, happy to be here and will be scoping out everyone’s tanks for ideas!
