Agreed once you have a sump tank and a really good skimmer, you'll be wondering why you wasted all your Time and money on an all in one.


Concepts is open today. And as for lighting they are all a good option weither it be led, t5, or mh. But since you are starting of and don't have to worry about the money you invested I the old lights I would look into LEDs. Ai sol blues are great, vertex led, ghl and sunbrites are all great. I myself am running sunbrites and I'm loving the lights. It gives me shimmer which I wasn't used to in with my t5 unit. But I have nothing bad to say about t5 except the cost per year to replace bulbs, but mind you they grow coral like no tomorrow lol
