I'm a longtime aquarist that just recently switched from freshwater to marine tanks. I shut down most of my freshwater systems and setup a 26 gallon AIO to dip my toes in a bit. I have since moved all of my fish and coral to a larger 6' Waterbox frag tank that I purchased with the intention of shutting down my smaller 26.
Now, my son has asked if we could setup the smaller tank for him. My question is, should I keep it a separate system or cut out the AIO portion, drill it and plumb it together with the larger tank? I know there are positives and negatives to going either way, just curious what the community thinks.
