    thats kind of how im feeling about it right now, im thinking i would have to put it up for sale, probably end of summer because im sure it will take a while to try to sell it. Not only do i have to try to sell the 46 or livestock only but i also have my puffer and my toads

    yea, i just dont know when i do move if ill even be able to setup the tank for a while, just because i dont know how stable my living situation would be. so i wouldnt want to have to keep taking down and setting back up.

    probably the best is 4. keep your good equipment for sure. such a tough decision to make. but it could all be dependent on where and how far away you move. if its reasonable close, you could just move the whole thing. but definitely work on the c.c. no more dresses for your girl either. whats gonna be harder not to buy? her fashions or coral? :)

    Well..I would wait until you know for sure if you can afford to move out or not. Then if you know you can, try to sell the tank. I'm sure your parents would help if you've already moved and it hasn't sold yet. But don't put it up for sale before you know if you can afford to move or not. Because then if it ends up you don't move, your tank will be gone!

    yea it would be to a different state, hopefully Colorado, and its not worth trying to keep the livestock alive. Haha lol she only has the one dress :p but yea it will be hard not to buy coral, unless i can find some locals that will be selling frags for cheap

    yea that's what im most worried about, i dont even know if i would be able to move out by then, but its at least a goal. And if i have to stay longer than expected and have already sold the tank i would be crushed

    Exactly!! So just don't buy anything else for the tank and see where you are at the end of the year.

    If it was me I would keep it the way it is, don't buy anymore and when its time to move take it with u. A 46 is not that big and will fit in any apartment. My friend moved his 125 here with all livestock from pheonix and lost nothing. He then moved it back to az plus a 90 agresive. Well he then moved back here again and the plastic support broke so he just sold all livestock and kept equipment.
    Prob doesn't help your decision does it. Lol
