I have a 20 ga long. Not RR
15 ga as a sump/ also a sump from Prem. Aquatics.(in storage)
It has an over flow 
Metal stand. Rio pump and a couple for more for flow.
No heaters (don't ask thats why I have no live stock)
25-35 lbs of nice live rock, couple snails.
135 watts PC(needs bulbs) (and also 35 or 65 ? New bulb I have as a back up..)
If this will help get you back in come take it.Maybe a temp set up for you.
I know there is more...(skimmer Big ? Mombasa ??)
I know first hand what cancer can take away. |

Okay... lets start simiple here... he want us to help plan so I am going to assume you don't have much for plans to show us at this point. Do you know if you want glass or acrlic? Next do you know roughly what size tank you want (in gallons or inches?) Do you have a place in the new house that you want to fit?? That may help answer what size. If you can answer those questions I think we can get the ball rollin for ya

Maybe we should start with a budget. How much $$$, then we go from there.

Sue, I'm not far from you and you've helped me out in the past so just tell me when and where.
I don't have much spare equipment except couple powerheads, a bag of Southdown, and a pair of 48" VHO bulbs - brand new. (Found out my hood needed 46.5" bulbs.)

I will offer my expertise in aquascaping when the time comes.
I have done and seen lots and lots of setups. I have my personal preferences but not stuck in my ways to be open to new ideas. I can certainly help out with setup and stuff, If I'm worthy.
Sue, I would narrow it down to 2 maybe 3 people and get together in the same room and start going from there. Trying to do it in a thread with lots of cooks in the kitchen will make it way too complicated.
