Big Decision, Help Please!

Hey Everyone,

So this is the deal, i have a 36 gallon mixed reef with:

-8 SPS frags growing nicely
-3 LPS
-1 Softy
-1 Ric
-3 Clams
-4 Zoas

Well, the good news is i just got an internship for this summer with BE Aerospace Corporation. The bad news is i am going to need to shut down my 36 while i am gone. So.....

I want to set up a nano to take with me so i can keep my SPS frags (all between 1-4 inches), and frags of few others. I will sell the clams and all other livestock. Dont worry i plan on resetting up the tank when i get back in the fall. But i dont know what to do as far as a nano goes, all i know is it needs to be fairly small and have a good light:

Will you please give you opinion on each of the following setups:

- AGA 10 gallon with 150 sunpod, with custom AC 110 fuge.

- 14 biocube or 12 Aquapod with 70 sunpod.

- 14 biocube or 12 Aquapod with 150 sunpod (wouldnt fit right though)

Price wise they are all close, around $300

Each setup would have a ATO, established live rock, weekly water changes with RO/DI, good flow, SSB, refugium of some sort, and other small goodies.


Questions:

What should i do?

Would the 70 watt sunpod be enough for the SPS for 3 months?

Anyone have any other ideas?


Well heres a picture of my currrent setup, which which i will be transfering the corals i mentioned above to for the summer:

Thanks for your time and help everyone!

Wow...nice tank, what a shame that you have to take it down! Good luck...sorry I can't suggest which nano to go with...I have a BC14 but have kept the stock lighting as I don't have any high light corals and I absolutely love the tank (OK I have 2 of them and my Mom has one too!)

I'd find a responsable tank-sitter if it was me. Even if you had to pay them... it would be well worth it.

I wil babysit it for free

Thanks everyone!

I thought about babysitting, but i dont think it would be worth it, too many things to go wrong, and also i dont know anyone who lives close thats is experienced and good at reef keeping, and would be willing to babysit (except you 1pix4c....haha).

So anyway, that is one vote for the 10 AGA, anyone else?
