I currently have a 15 gallon AIO. I’m not sure of the brand, it looks like some sort of custom waterbox aquarium maybe. It came as part of a helloreef kit(which I am super unhappy with.)
It currently has:
Filter Sock
Activated Carbon in a bag that just sits it the middle chamber
A filter Sponge
Sicce Micra Plus Return Pump
Sicce Nano Circulation Pump
50W Eheim Heater
I recently had a clown die of brook so I have six weeks to wait before adding more livestock.
In the meantime I’m just wondering what I should add to my setup to make it better. I do eventually plan on upgrading my tank and keeping this as my QT, but that’s way off in the future. In the meantime I’m not sure if I am going to set up a 10gallon QT or just buy quarantined fish from a place like Dr Reefs.
The heater even turned all the way up won’t keep my water at temp, so that’s the first thing I’m going to upgrade.
I’d like to add a media basket I think. I’m just not sure if it has to be one made specifically for my tank, or if that’s even something that’s worth it.
I’d also consider switching from filter socks to a fleece roller just unsure if any solution for AIO tanks is even worth it.
Is a HOB skimmer worth it or beneficial?
Will likely add an ATO if topping off ever becomes tedious, it hasn’t yet, but everything is also kind of new and exciting right now and it just gives me something to do while waiting.
