Just placed an order for a Waterbox Cube 20 with the white cabinet, along with a Sicce Syncra Silent 1.0 to use as the return pump. I plan to gather the rest of the equipment over the next couple months and get the tank wet in early 2023. I have to thank my wife for letting expand my aquarium collection and get back into reefing again.

Still researching other options
Once the tank is cycled, I plan on starting with some zoas and mushrooms, and then gradually add some LPS once the tank has been established for 6-8 months.
I have been researching the Dutch Synthetic Reefing system and am debating about trying it out on this aquarium. Does anyone have experience with the DSR method, especially on a smaller sized aquarium? If so, I'd like to hear your feedback.
