    doesnt matter on size, up keep is up keep. maybe redisigning your current tank for less maintenance. i spend minimal time on my 75

    I agree with Reefguru. I would stay with the one you have for now. Just keep it simple, make it a fish only tank. I had one many yrs ago and my water changes were once a month. Cant get any simpler than that. That will also make the wifey happy too.
    If you still decide to sell it, just take 10-15% off the original purchase price for every year used.

    ok so going for minimal maintenance, what suggestions on filtration setups, currently i hate the sump i have, the protein skimmer thats built into the tank doesnt seem to work that great, even after paying some of the LFS's to come out and look at it and tweak it

    Well, either convert the sump into a wet/dry or a refugium.

    My Reef life time consumption was greatly reduced when I added the refugium! Huge help probably one of the best things I added.
