Jumping Back In

[Nytelighter]

Hey folks, looking to dip my toes back into the saltwater realm. It been about 5 years since I had a tank. My first was a 55 gallon freshwater which didn't last too long as I started doing more research on saltwater tanks and felt like I could live up to the challenge. My first salt tank was a 20 gallon long with a clownfish pair and some inverts. Unfortunately, while I was at work, friends stopped by to visit and their unsupervised kid dumped every remnant of fish food I had into the tank which caused it to crash the time I got home. All my livestock croaked and I was heartbroken. I later put together a 40B that was a labor of love and keep my happy until I had to break it down due to a military move. So after a long hiatus I am looking to set up something small since most likely I'll have to move again. Leaning towards either a 10 w/sump or 20L w/sump. Once I decide I'll hopefully start a build thread. See you guys around.

Thanks, really looking forward to having my own piece of the ocean again. I always liked coming home and having a cold one right in front of my tank.

Welcome. If I had to choose 10 or 20, I’d go 20. Maybe look for. Fusion all in one. I liked mine. Good luck

Definitely go bigger than smaller in my opinion easier to keep parameter swings under control and alittle more room for errors...

I’d agree, the IM Fusion all in ones are really nice, and functional.
