I have been out of the saltwater world for over 10 years. My experience however was a 75 gallon that I had going for over 5 years with no filtration, all live rock, sand and it took care of itself very well. I had to knock it down for moving reasons and now want to try again, on a small scale. I am looking for something commercial, self contained, small, fit on desk, have lighting for some simple corals, anemone and clown fish. Is there something on the market (Amazon or EBAY) that has filtration and lighting all included? I am curious, I have heard that the systems out there are very loud. I don't want loud, I want a nice quiet small contained beautiful system. Can anyone help? I assume these are somewhere between 10-20 gallons, is that correct?
Thank you in advance. Mojo52

You may want to look at some all in one (AIO) options. Many times these tanks come with the pump and filtration, but the light may need to be purchased separately. Certainly some are louder than others, but my innovative marine AIO is quiet (at least to me). Good luck with whatever you choose!

Thank u all for welcome. Just a memory. In 2005 or so, u started tank, waited and watched how a damsel survived. Don’t know if u still do that. But anyway, once they survived good luck putting an expensive tang or whatever in there because
U couldn’t get rid of the domino. There were so many posts back then about those pesky damsels.
