Decisions...

Ok, Im stuck on decisions know. I was going too ditch the marines until I get my biocube next year. But thinking twice know I'm stuck on which way to go. I could either start my tank again, sell all the crabs to my lfs and store away the LR and set up a tropical planted enviroment until I get my biocube next year. Or I could start the tank again, take out the bubble tube and put in live sand and more live rock to compensate on the loss of mechanical filtration. Ill then continue keeping marine fish until I get my new tank next year.
I want to change to tropical fish but I don't wanna stop with marines
Which was do I go ?

 

10g tank + all the fixing is less than $100 to get up and running for FW tropicals.

 

Keep your marines going until you have the cube. It is a lot less costly to stay the course than to start over with marine aquariums.
