Default Serious this time. about down grading When 2-3 months or sooner

Well I gave it some thought and Im going to be going to down grade. When don't know soon I hope. lights here filter's there this and that, Im always seem to be spending something on the tank would like to spend it on something else like my civic. I want simple so I can have a good doser to run all and not worry about this and that and want to do the balling method and with a top grade controller. plus Im thinking that i only want a few prize SPs and alot of high prized LPS and softies in my tank, ya it sounds like well you have that now but when I go away there is so much that the misses has to look after. I have so much equipment too that i can sell and get all the fancy stuff.

The Algae is always getting to me too the bubble is starting to take over, red turf i can never seem to get a hold of it. im really liking a few smal fish and that is it the big fish is nice ,but to much now.
Im looking at just doing a single light 250 or 150 W, im looking towards probably a cube like a 60 24x24x20 or a long like 36x20x20 somthing different. with a nice stand that i can have out the 150 will be probably a few bigger fish FW like oscar's or a few FW puffer's

Going to be having alot of gears to sell or to may be down grade. once I give the gohead that Im going
in the future of selling

huge BARR's Aquatic Kalk Stirrer KR3020
BK SM 250 should have kept the deltec 851 might trade some one for a smaller one or sell it

dual galaxy Ballast
crap load of timer's the high grade ones
2 lumenarc's
aquapro 150W /2x 65W PC actinic's

Things I may be interested in, depending on how much $$$ the Mrs lets me have at the time LOL

Kalk Stirrer
Single Galaxy ballast
Lumenarc. Are they SE or DE? Would really like another 250W DE to keep mine all the same

Wow, you downgrade? I can't believe it.

If you do, let me know about the BK, I may be interested.

Dude are you nuts? A small tank is just as much work as a big tank (except for the waterchange part which can be made easier). Get the controller and the dosing pump and stop wasting your money on skimmers
Make your tank relatively bulletproof..play the "what if" game and figure a solution so it doesn't happen. Teach your wife how to work the controller, they're pretty easy.

Then again you seem to really enjoy the buying/selling/set-up aspect of the hobby so fill yer boots

I agree with Christy, smaller tank is just as much work. Give me a call sometime I may have dosing pumps etc. that will work for you if you want to go that route.

I have taken a good look at the JBJ 28G with the LED lights. They look like an excellent little system maybe take a look at those for the downgrade?
