Getting back into the hobby!

[sillysidewinder]

Hey Everybody,

I'm about to take the plunge again into the nano reef world. It's been a while since I've done this (about 4 years) and I'm feeling a bit rusty. Anybody got a a good guide on how to get started again, equipment suggestions, what type of media to use for filtration, etc etc?

I'm looking to do a 10 gallon rimless reef tank and would like to know what kind of equipment you guys may suggest... I don't need the best, I would like a nice setup that doesn't cost me a TON of money.

A couple of the products that I'm looking at right now are:
? Innovative Marine 10 gallon Nuvo Fusion Nano Aquarium w/ CustomCaddy 20 Media Basket

? Kessil A80 Tuna Blue

For what it's worth, here is my previous tank

I'll give you a 30 gallon jbj if you take all the live fish and other things in the tank.
