Hey everyone, Ive been taking a break from fish tank keeping hobby for a few months now, while I deal with personal stuff so can't really deal with the maintenance of a reef tank now. However that reef bug keeps itching my leg lol. I figure I try to do as much research as possible before getting back into the hobby, If I do get back into the hobby, I don't want to do any short cuts well at least for the most part. My most recent tank was 150 Gallon tank, which was mainly FOWLR however in the long run I couldn't keep up with the water changes, especially couldn't provide RODI water for reef tanks. However Im thinking of going nano size if I get back into reef keeping. I know that the smaller the tank apparently the more difficult it is to take care of it.
So long story short, trying to figure out how small is too small and I do know bigger is always better. Im thinking if I go back to reef nothing more than 65 gallons max however I do want to stay as small as possible lol. So to start off looking for some of the best tank kits with built in overflow on the back? Any recommendations? Honestly only care about filtration as I will upgrade the lights to Kessil no matter what. However, if it proves that most all in one tanks have to many flaws than will look into a smaller tank with build in overflow and a custom sump underneath. However want to try to find behind the tank overflows first. Appreciate the help
