I Want To Try To Do It Right

[AvaS]

Hi! So I am considering upgrading and getting an AIO tank that I can happily keep sps in,( I was thinking somewhere between 20-45 gallons). I would want to be able to keep a mixed reef with a variety of corals and fish. I would like to be able to have an efficient and dependable system. I don’t know much about plumbing and sumps. As Black Friday is around the corner I figured it would be a good time to possibly get the new system. Just to let you know I am 14, so I don’t have an insanely huge budget and would love to pick up stuff while BRS is having there huge sales. Any equipment, full setup or other suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!

This seems to be the best budget option on BRS:

I remember being 14 and complaining on here that I could afford all the cool zoas on the market lol, this hobby's hard when you're young but things have gotten easier since then. Good luck!

Thanks so much! That’s what I was looking at too! Any other recommendations?

It is so awesome to see young adults get into the hobby AvaS. I was your age when I began the salty side and haven't looked back.

Oscaror recommended a great AIO. Wish they had these when I first started.

Good luck with your selection and let us know if you have questions.

Thanks so much! I would like to atempt at using a controller and doser with the new setup to help keep everything extra controlled and balanced, since I would like to do a mixed reef. Any recommendations on that? I would consider using a used doser or controller if anyone has one for recommendation.

Waterbox has some nice AIO tanks and small sump systems. Check out the Cube, Marine and Marine AIO systems. If I recall, they will/should post Black Friday discounts.

I was also looking on water box and saw a few nice setups! Does anyone have any of these tanks? If so I would love to hear about the equipment you used, your setup, and overall thoughts! Also, does anyone know if water box goes on Black Friday sale on their website or on BRS? Thanks so much!
