I've read several posts where people buy the all-in-ones with immediate intention of upgrading the lights... Isn't there a cheaper route of just buying the tank and lights separately?

They are easy to get started with. Good beginner tanks. Once they master them, they want to advance. Nothing wrong with that.
Its based on their needs. While the lighting may be adequate, it may be deficient for SPS and other light required coral. return pump may be adequate for circulation, but not for various coral, and so forth.I guess i meant that there are some All In Ones that are cheaper... but the JBJ (for example) are kind of pricey because they have "reef ready" lighting-- but people still buy those and upgrade the lights right away. Just found it interesting that brand new lights go to waste on these units. Wish they'd make the lights more worth keeping
Did you remove the black panel and drill the back of the tank. I would like to see it if you did? I’ve been thinking about do that to my JBJ 45.When I bought my JBJ 45 AIO, it didn’t come with lights.
but I did modify it to have a sump
You could just do a hob overflow box like the eshopps.Did you remove the black panel and drill the back of the tank. I would like to see it if you did? I’ve been thinking about do that to my JBJ 45.
Hey Bob you know if the JBJ 45 can be drilled?When I bought my JBJ 45 AIO, it didn’t come with lights.

No I didn’t been afraid too since I have Coral and fish although I have removed most of the glass behind it.Did you remove the black panel and drill the back of the tank. I would like to see it if you did? I’ve been thinking about do that to my JBJ 45.
I do not know but I think it maybe tempered looking at itHey Bob you know if the JBJ 45 can be drilled?
I am not a fan of these type of overflows. In the event of power issues i do not want to dump water from sump on the floor due to over flow.I do not know but I think it maybe tempered looking at it
but
i use a HOB overflow a CPR 90. I originally modified the returns to accept a return coming from a sump in the stand but now I recently went to a full 3/4 return
