Hello everyone, my name is Nelson and I'm from Portugal. I am new to the hobby also new in Reef2reef.
I have an aquarium of 1 meter x 30 in width and 40 in height. Unfortunately I do not have room for a sump, so I have to go through all the equipment inside the aquarium. I have a T5 fixture with 4 lamps and a Tunze 9004 for now as a skimmer, also 1 Jebao rw-4 for circulation.
My question is: can you show me some of your all in one tanks? Just to have some ideas and opinions are welcome! Thank you very much
 
Hi Nelson, I have an all in one by Innovative Marine/40 gallon and I love it. Nothing hanging off the back or under the cabinet. I don't even need to run it with a skimmer. Everyone is happy and healthy inside. Best decision on a tank I've ever made.
 
Dear SalinFL,

Thank you very much for your answer, I really enjoyed having these aquariums here, but in Portugal it still does not exist, if there was, that would be my option. Unfortunately my tank also has no internal sump, I will have to put everything inside. You think I need an HOB filter? Seachem has now released a new Tidal and that sounds a great filters
 
This is a 40 breeder that I had with a ac70 hob filter with seachem matrix biomedia, a bag of chemipure elite, and a cut to size filter pad. An eshopps hob 75 skimmer, and even an ato. Temp controller for heaters and fan. It was a fowlr with very heavy bioload, I had 40 lbs of life rock in the tank. The tank ran awesome. I'm running it now without the protein skimmer as a qt.
