Pretty much nothing other than powerheads & heaters will be transferable to keeping rays. That means getting rid of a lot of live sand, live rock, big fish, skimmer, etc. that you end up not being able to fit into a 29g system. For someone with time constraints & money issues due to school, this changeover sounds like a less than ideal idea and will result in a significant financial loss.

But to each their own.
No it won't. Off course I need to completely clean out the tank and sell the sand rock etc... but I'm keeping some rock and sand for the 29g. Water changes are a lot easier for fw, just stick the python on and it's done, none of this mixing water or ato or another tank just for water. Personally rays are a lot for easy for me to take care of then these saltwater fish. The lookdown already got ick once but now It's 100% fixed atleast that worked out well, did not want him to die but it gets to the point where it's no fun anymore. I'm still NOT sure though that I will sell which is why I'm waiting until the end of the month two decide. If I was done with it everything would have been up for sale by now.
