I have a 30 nano cube AIO and a 75 fresh and i wish it was the other way around because salt just needs so much more equipment ( or i just want more) and its hard to fit in my tank.

so midsize to large aka big enough to have a concealed sump with all the goodies in it.

I’ve had a pretty rapid increase in tank size in the 14 months I’ve had a reef. Started with a 16 Biocube that now houses pea puffers, moved 3 months later to a IM 30l Nuvo and lastly to my current setup that features a IM SR60, which I love. My third tank that’s running is a 90 gallon acrylic that has Discus

I have a 32 gallon biocube as well as 75 gallon African cichlid tank. I like the biocube because it is easy to maintain and my 75 is just the right height, so that I can work on it myself from my wheelchair. Unfortunately, due to ongoing health issues I am taking the 75 gallon down. It is getting too hard to maintain both.
