Which all in one setup for reef tank?

jbarnett12 · Dec 11, 2018

Been out of the hobby for 4 or 5 yrs now. Wanting to do a reef tank and nothing bigger than 30gal or so. What setup would everyone recommend?

Biocubes can be found pretty cheap second hand. Red Sea has a great line on AIOs too.

Thanks.. What kind of filtration setup in the biocube 32 would u recommend.. there are so many ways to go online.. don't know what to use

I love the IM 30L biggest filter space to tank space ratio.

IMO hard to beat the Biocube for the money, I have a 14 gallon version that’s been running for a few years now and it had been the easiest reef I have ever maintained.

The Innovative marine, Fusion 20, Fusion 25 lagoon, and the Fusion 30L are all great options as well.

Super smart product and the pricing is good too. I had a friend running a diy version of this but this is a much more refined solution. We used packing tape to keep the LED on the back of the biocube lol.

I have a Biocube along with a larger tank and would likely go with an IM tank if I was to make the choice again. Gives you a lot more flexibility to get better lighting and they are built very well.
