Well, over the past 2 days, I've been constantly rolling the idea over in my head of halting my 75g project. Here's why, and then I'll give you all my alternative options:

- My wife and I are currently in an oversized 1br apartment with a walled-in "sunroom". Space is already an issue. So, I'm scared that I'm not going to having the space needed to store some of the equipment for water changes, as well as space to do some of the water mixing, and other DIY projects. I do have a close-friend's house who has tons of room right down the road, but I'd hate to have to go bug them every time I wanna do something.

- We are currently in a 7-month lease that we are 1-month into. So, that leaves us with a probable move in about 6 months. Either into a bigger apartment, or into a house similar to the one we just moved out of. Either way, I would be aquiring more space, which would be a very good thing.

That pretty much sums up my delima, now here's my thoughts on options.

I can either:

A: Go with a much smaller (30g w/ a 20 sump, or a 55g w/ a 20 sump). setup.

B: Wait until we move and start my projects then.

C: Start collecting parts and pieces for the futher 75+ gallon project. (this would help spread out the cost over time, instead of blowing $1200+ in a couple of days.

D: Or go with an option that one of you fine folks can come up with!

I really hate to face the harsh truth that I really don't need to go all out right now, but I don't want to give up entirely. I also wanted to kinda give everyone an update of my project and where I stand.

All opinions and ideas are greatly appreaciated.

Thanks!
