You can often find Aqueon tanks on sale for 50% off!!! An auto-doser is just a nice to have. You can figure out what dosing needs you have and do it manually. A skimmer is only really needed if you overstock with fish, and can’t control your nitrates. A sump is also just a nice to have. You can hide the filters, heaters, and almost all your equipment in there.
Coming from a Fluval 13.5 AIO then a DIY 30 gallon setup which I just converted to a hang-on-back Seachem Tidal Power filter... the HOB setup is a million times easier to maintain!!!
Great video .. i have 3 saltwater tanks and only have a skimmer on one of them i also have a all in one and just a normal tank which is run on a canister filter no dosers i think the simpler the tank the more enjoyable the hobby
@@505Aquatics i am loving the canister i have all my biological media in it i don’t put anything else in as i have a pre filter that is attached to it where i have my sponges/floss and carbon in i clean that out once a week and i only clean the canister every now and then as the pre filter traps most of the debris
I ran a 55 gallon with a undergravel filter and a canister filter i never had no problem heavily stock feeding 3 times a day water change very minimal never had any algae never tested the water only for ammonia everything was clean if i was to do it again which i plan on going to do it the same way
