Hello, all!
After a bit more than a decade away, I'm looking at getting back into the hobby. (Amazing the difference when kids are older, haha) So, I'm looking to come in starting with a small tank in my (home) office. For starters, I'll be looking for an AIO ~20G for a small mixed reef. Yes, I know this is somewhat size limiting, but this is just a gentle re-entry as opposed to my old 200.
Anywho, I'm looking for input for AIO systems, somewhat like the old biocubes, and what is the bee's knees for lighting nowadays (LEDs were just coming online when I stopped). I'm looking for a light mix, possibly a few SPS toward the top/higher flow areas, likely more LPS/softies lower.
Thoughts, opinions, pointers for the "current" trends and equipment? Much appreciated!
