I'm gathering the bits of equipment I need to get a tank up n running again. I have almost everything. It's a 24g bowfront nano. It will house softies and maybe a little bit of LPS. No sps since I'll have to move it in about a year's time.

Here's the equipment so far:
24g bowfront tank(24x12ishx16)
5 gallon tank for top-off resevoir
JBJ auto top off unit
aquaclear 70 HOB (400gph)
koralia 400gph pump
4-5 maxijet 1200's
coralife aqualight pro (need to choose HQI bulb) (150hqi/2x65actinic)
RO/DI purifer
UPS backup power

I also have a mag 700 internal/external pump I might be able to use. don't know how exactly but it's kicking around.

and I have about 70-90 pounds of liverock cooking at my mom's . I think I'll seed it with some else's liverock as well when the time comes.

So I'm on the way to having a tank again. It's not overly ambitious like the 120g was so it won't get out of control on me.

checklist of things to do:
hang the light
transport the rock here (big job)
decide my flow design once rock's in the tank. maybe set up a wavemaker
leave rock in for an extended period of time until things settle (wish me luck i'm so impatient lol)
proceed with buying coral (the fun part )
