Hey,


I've had a 340l tank with sump for about 4 years but it's been quite neglected in the last year or so. No water changes, lots of ugly phases etc etc.


I'm sparking my interest back into the hobby by taking on a new challenge of downsizing to an 80l nano in the form of a UNS 90LA AIO I recently bought from Charterhouse aquatics.


Excited to see the new tank grow in and I've promised myself to take better care of it. I like to challenge myself, not take the easy route and not buy all the fancy expensive kit. Looking to keep this new tank as simple as possible with minimal kit.


I’ve started a build thread here on the forum to document the progress. It would be great to hear from other UK based reefers or anyone else who has successfully made the jump from a larger tank to a minimalist AIO.

Looking forward to getting to know you all!
