Thanks anthony. It's a special situation, because it's an apartment my parents have been renting as a summer home for years. He is a family friend, and kinda gotta abide by his rules. I pay $650 a month in a coastal city for a 2 bedroom, where normal rent for a 2-bedroom here is $2,000 a week during summer, and $1400/month during the winter. Wish I could afford to move, but I doubt i'd ever find this again.

Thanks for the advice. May just keep it as a fresh-tank, wait on the reef.
