Best All in one tank

Hello everyone looking to start my first saltwater tank in January. Was think the best bang for my buck will come from buying a all in one tank. I have been looking at tank sizes from 30 to 50 gallons.

Just curious what yall would recommend as far as brands such as Coarlife, JBJ, Nuvo fusion, and any other brands that might be out there.

Any insight to any of these tanks would be much appreciated.

I went with the LED Biocube 32, it's ok...I couldn't get the wife to support getting the red sea which looks amazing. The BC has been around a long time, tons of upgrades...The 32 led's are weak and retro kits cost 225-400$. Factor in lighting costs if you go BC

I have a coralife 29G. They are very customizable. I'm satisfied with it

How much is involved in a 10 gallon tank?
I have heard that smaller the tank the harder it is to take care of. Is this true?

Not at all!! I do weekly 3 gallon water changes and my tank is going amazing! Mind you I also have a 20gal nano, 40b FW planted tank, and a 125 gal reef. And I have to say I'm absolutely loving my 10gal nuvo

All you need is a good quality salt! And some solid maintenance habits I don't run a skimmer at all. I'll post a picture in a few minutes
