Thinking about getting back into the hobby after a long 12-year hiatus (long story). Prior to my departure, I had a 300g SPS in-wall reef (link below) that I very much miss. Unfortunately, this go-around, I'm looking at a much more modest build due to limited space. I am thinking a 40g breeder or a similar sized all-in-one design. I'm still an equipment junkie so don't need turnkey but like the finished look of the pricier all-in-one setups (any recommendations?). In the meantime, I'm sure a lot has changed. When I shut my old tank down, LED lighting was in its infancy so looking for a decent tutorial on LED lighting. Also, what about protein skimmers? Are people still using them a lot. I'm thinking that this will largely determine whether I go with a sump or not.

Will continue to research but so far, here is what I think I'm going to go with:

Serpentman's 300g upgrade
