AIO Tank 30G or Less

Hi all,

It's been a few years since I've been into reef keeping but now that my kids are older I've decided to get back into it. I want to start small and simple with some hardy LPS and a a perc or something and I'm thinking an AIO would be a great set up for that.

What are some of the best AIO's out there right now 30G and under? I've done some research and have looked into Innovative Marine and Cadlight which are completely new brands to me. I know of Red Sea, Coralife, and JBJ already from my past experience. Which of these are the best bang for your buck?

Would like the following features:
  • 30G or Under
  • LED lighting (Enough watts per gallon for LPS)
  • Compatible with a drop-in Skimmer (not a must-have)
  • $400 or Less

Thanks for the advice!

If you're looking for bast bang for your buck, I'd say the Fusion 25 Lagoon! It's a great tank.
IM also puts out high quality products.

Wow, I love how shallow this tank is. Thank you! Now I just need to find the right light set up.

Also look at ebay. There are a few acrylic rimless AIO on there labeled as frag tanks. You would have to supply the lighting and filtration though.
