When I lost most of my stock in my 3-tank display system to an oodinium outbreak I thought about hanging it up. Then I decided to replace that system with a 125g to do something different. As I looked at the new 125 sitting on my stand, I kept wondering if I wanted to add more time and costs to the upkeep of our other tanks and pets. So I really switched it up and set it up as a low tech planted freshwater tank and I am loving it. So simple and so little care necessary compared to a reef. Of course, I still have my clown pairs to scratch that reef itch.
My point is at least consider setting your system up as a freshwater tank if that interests you at all. It will minimize costs, time, and commitment, and yet still give you sone pleasure while getting use out of your tank. You won't have to sell all your equipment, and if you want a reef at a later date, you just swap it over with only swapping some equipment.

I could just go FOWLR for a while, but we all know that doesn't last long. lol
I appreciate the feed back. I'm going to think about it more. I could hold onto the tank indefinitely. I hate seeing all the other equipment sit there and collect dust and if I do decide to sell, then all of that equipment is not the latest and greatest and I'll take a bigger hit. I could always just re-purchase new equipment... Buying a big custom tank is another story though. Took a lot to pull the trigger on this one.
We'll see I guess. Either a build thread or for sale thread.

This is true. I'm grateful to you for opening up a new world for me.... or should I say, "Way of life."
When are we diving again? How's the viz been on your site? We've had an average of ~15ft. in 50-60 fsw the past month.
