Another coming back to reefing post

[Cube Crazy]

Ok so I’ve been out of reefing since 2006ish. I used to have 36x36x24” cube. But I see nowadays things have changed a lot with equipment and tank set ups. I see a lot of the AIO tanks and wonder how well these do as most I see have very little space for a protein skimmer. I’m looking at tanks around 30-40g

Welcome back. Love to see people coming back to the hobby. I’ve never had an AIO so, I won’t comment on those other than to say IceCap/Coralvue has some nice looking ones.

@Reefing102 any thoughts? Don’t you have AIO experience?

Welcome back!

Many AIO have a brand specific skimmer or may have a large enough back filter fit something like a Tunze Comline.

That said, many, including myself, don’t run a skimmer in our AIOs. My auto top off I run under the tank. Anything dosing wise the same. Some with turn the center filter area into a small fuge area or get a filter tray where they can run various media
