I'm looking to setup a silent reef tank since it will be in the same room as I work and can't focus which noise. I'm looking to put together a reef tank that's 40-50 gallons. I would prefer something affordable (Maybe up to $500ish or less?) that's complete if possible.
I've been told to get the Innovative Marine Fusion Pro AIO, but I feel like a lot is missing for the high price like a protein skimmer, lights, thermometer, heater, etc... and by the time I get their matching stand, its well above $1000 without the extra things I need to buy.
Any suggestions for something silent? I don't mind buying pieces and putting it together myself, but not sure if there are any hanging filters and skimmers that are silent. I'm even okay with a canister filter if its quieter.
Thank you all for the help and I genuinely appreciate it
