YUP Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 So I've been out of the hobby for a few years as I sold my house and my fish tank lol. But I miss saltwater so thinking about getting a new tank. I wasn't thinking anything big like my old 75 gal with 38 gal sump, but instead, one of these AIO tanks. First thought was basic jbj or coralife biocube. But now we have a bunch like the fluval 32 gal flex. Red sea and rimless waterbox which is too expensive for my taste etc. if you see attached picture looks Kinda like a built in stand huh:) I cannot have a sump though. But I wouldn't mind filling this space which to be safe would be 40 inches long and 18 inches wide. The height can't be more than 21 inches. So I have good access as max is 30 inches. Looks like I could do maybe 50 gal or even up to 60 if dimensions are correct. So any good suggestions for aio systems in this size range? I can just go with all these 32 gal but might as well fill this space up. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce00 Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I like my AIO 10g water box. Dustin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveZ Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I’d go with the Fiji Cube 38g peninsula or 32g AIO https://www.fijicube.com/collections/all-in-one-aio-aquarium Either that or get a custom acrylic tank built to the exact dimensions you want. I have a contact if you’re interested in a custom built acrylic tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoeCrew Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 You can build an aio out of a 40 gallon breeder. It is really a lot easier than you may think. You can build a wall out of back acrylic and design baffles in it. Tap plastics can help you cut the pieces to your desire. I would design it around the protein skimmer of your choice, filter roller and an ats. I did a project like that for a 33gallon cube tank. I was very happy with it. I thought it was better than all the aio designs around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YUP Posted October 1, 2022 Author Share Posted October 1, 2022 Thanks everyone. Ya I saw Fiji cube has a drop in aio kit for 40 gal breeder. I'll look into this stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegotjs Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I had a Waterbox and thought the design for the chamber sucked. I'm in a Redsea now and it's not perfect but i like that they have sumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Z Reef Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Idk man but this guys tank is a STEAL with that gear. Might be worth finding a spot for it elsewhere. I often find myself going down the rabbit hole for something to go somewhere and make stands blah blah and end up wishing I just bought it ready to go lol!

YUP Posted October 6, 2022 Author Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) Sheesh I didn't even look at for sale stuff on forum. Been out of the loop for awhile. Right now I am in between IM fusion pro 2 40L as it will fit in there or just 40 gal breeder with aio fujicube kit I'm going to search forum for reviews on IM fusion tanks and its only 13 inches high which is concerning as I dont want just a frag tank.
