Ok so let me explain the whole situation of what I want to do with the reefing hobby. So let's start this back to when I was really little (2years old to about 7years old) my parents and I (well kinda me lol) had a freshwater tank that was 55gallons. Fast forward to now. I'm 13 (almost 14) and about 2 months ago I picked up a 10g cheap petsmart tank with the filter heater hood and cheap led lights. I am planning to get a 2nd tank as a mixed reef anywhere from this summer till January next year. This will only be able to be ran for a little less than 4 years as I will have to go to college for 4-6years. I have been saving a lot and I would like to spend up to about $2500 on everything. I would like to keep a hippo tang and yellow tang once the tank is mature enough. I plan on adding a flame angel and clownfish also . what would be the cheapest tank setup or building my own as I can. And I would prefer to have a controller such as an apex. I am really good with woodworking and tool working and technology so building the stand drilling a tank won't be a problem along with any coding or anything I would have to do to setup a controller. Also I can't keep any larger than a 4ft tank. Thanks everyone and remember that this tank will only be for 4years. By the time I could add the tangs it will probably be near 2.5 years left into owning the tank.
