So im moving to houston at the end of july to go to medical school, and i have decided that my current setup is not going with me. I love my 40br but the space it takes up is not that pleasing. So im going to down size to a ~34 gallon 20.5x18x22 that i had de-rimed. I plan to buy one of these as the basis for my stand (im not good with wood work and think this may be easier) http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70011793

im going to skin it with birch and then stain it. i may also get granite cut (depending on the cost) and use it for the top of the stand.

Filtration:

-Sump: looking for a sump that would fit my space easily (let me know if you know of any custom sump builders). would also want it to have a chamber for my bubble magus skimmer, a spot for a fuge, and a spot for a frag rack (powered by a rapid led par bulb).

-skimmer: bubble magus NAC6a for now, may switch to a SWC later but don't know
- BRS pellet reactor with pellets
- Mag 5 or 7 return (dependent on which gl@$$h()les overflow i buy)
-overflow: gl@$$h()les 700gph or the 300gph one, not sure

Water Movement: 1 MP10 right now, may sell my tunze wavebox and buy another, or just keep it until i upgrade systems again.

Lighting: Aqua Illuminations Sol Blue

Computer: Reef keeper lite, want to switch to apex, but have to prioritize money wise

May also look into getting two of these for a better dosing schedule then my current kalk method http://coralvue.com/aquahouse-aquarium-dosing-pumps/


Probably going to continue with my mixed reef and keep most of my current corals and fish.

Let me know what you think.

Will
