Hello I am new to the Reef keeping hobby.  I am planning on starting a 5 gallon AIO reef tank very soon.  I am hoping to learn a lot about the hobby from this forum!

Thanks,
Tbred

Welcome.  Opposite to what most people think, smaller tanks are more difficult to take care of.  With such a small water volume things can go downhill quick.  If you are set on a 5gallon tank, dont overstock and keep an eye on your water until you come to learn what to expect

Thanks for the welcome!  I am from Morrow, OH.  I have been doing my research on pico tanks and understand their high maintenance and low bioload requirements.  As far as my plans to stock the 5 gallon, I was going for a clean up crew, a few crabs, and at max one small fish (but not really a necessity).  I am planning to set up the tank in a month or so, depending on my current living arrangement.  A possible move in the future.
