hmmm so I guess that would directly mean ME who is put with the 10g. OK, no problem with it...however I should get the same budget then

.....maybe??? I don't have as good a chance with those 10's out there...they're spectacular already! But I'm willing to give it a go!

I am sorry that there aren't more in the 5.5g...it is a challenge to do and I thought more would be up for the challenge! Sorry to hear that you're leaving the contest...tis sad to lose one.

Yes I think you should have the same budget. You will have one advantage, your tank will require less stock so it will be easier to pack with corals within budget.

I'd like to see the 5.5 guys all stay in, it's a shame they can't work it out.

Little more than just simply moving - dont forget I've been told I have to use the factory 5.5's glass - thus I've still got to finish up laminating all the glass (4 panes done thus far) + building the "new" contest tank. Meanwhile I'm trying to get my DIY'ing parts packed up and organized for the move... With a pregnant wife - so I can't let her do much either...
