Hey there!
I’m new to reefing, but stumbled across BAR while researching all the various things to learn about this hobby. I am planning a relatively small system, probably in the 20–30 gallon range for the display. I’m leaning away from an AIO because I want a setup with some room for add-ons, so I’m planning on a small sump. Coral keeping definitely interests me, but I’ve always been drawn to freshwater planted tanks, and recently I’ve come across pictures of display refugiums that really appeal to me, so I’ll likely include an auxiliary refugium plumbed into the sump. I anticipate I’ll enjoy the tinkering side of the hobby and I’m interested in monitoring and automation with tools like reef-pi.
