why do you have to get rid of everything at once? you could do a fish-less nano that wouldn't require significant maintenance. then again, if you don't enjoy spending time with your reef, then there's not much point.

Change
Emily, change is a healthy thing and it might open up a lot of other great possibilities you hadn't even thought of.
As long as you find great homes for your little creatures, you may be able to do a total life make-over. I always say do what feels good. I'm sure it's a tough decision though!!

Big change
Going from something to not at all seems like a big change; would there be room for the idea of keeping one bird in a cage and a nano tank, perhaps?

I learned a lot from you teachings when I first started out last year. Pets are a lot of work, I understand your motivations.
As others have mentioned, a small little nano-cube would still give you a bit of reef keeping without all the work. I keep a little 5 gallon FW tank on my desk and it is very little work but brings me and my coworkers a lot of joy during the day.

Appreciate the comments and suggestions from everyone
The more I think about it, a clean break and down a completely different road is where we are headed. It actually feels good to be on the other side of the decision, though when time comes to part with my friends, I'm going to be very sad. I have already started down the new road. It's a good road, with plenty of creative stuff to keep me challenged. I'm going to continue making videos, this time of the little fuzzy toys I've been collecting. The first one I made is on youtube.com, and some of you have already seen it. For those that haven't.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCTwrqC176w I will be creating stories in the new videos for my 21 month old granddaughter who has life-threatening allergies to milk, eggs and peanuts, with less severe allergies to a few other very common food products. Good thing she loves vegetables, fruit and meats of all kinds. Anyway, shortly, I will post my system and livestock for sale, and hope it will be bought by one person to avoid the hassle of parting it out. PM me if you'd like to stop by and see everything. I'll be happy to give you a guided tour
