I've been out of the hobby for twenty years, and wanting to start again as my free time now allows for it. Starting small with a tight budget, but plan on slowly working my way back up to a large tank. This is what I am working with at this time, some things will change through trial and error and information gathered from all of the helpful people here. 7.5 gallon tank from Sam's club. DIY PVC frame for temporarily hanging a cheap 165 watt Chinese black box LED light. Coralife digital power center timer. Eheim 75

watt heater. Aquaneat digital thermometer. Aquaclear 70 HOB filter. API saltwater master test kit plus a calcium test kit. Refractometer. Vibrant Sea by Seachem salt mix. RO/DI water. 15 lbs live rock from ARCREEF. Approximately 12 lbs caribsea live sand. 1 fire fish, 1 yellow watchman goby, 1 emerald green crab, 4 astrea snails, 1 nassarius snail, 1 unknown orange zoanthid.
 
What brand is the 16 gallon? Did it come rimless?
 
This is the first saltwater tank I had and is still my favorite to this day. Just a regular little 10 gallon.
