For a student the summer is coming to an end....I will be going back to UT....Longhorn band....classes.

So...here it goes, i have a 50 gallon (hence my signature) although the work load on my tank, is not that bad... with school fast approaching I'm getting worried I cannot keep up with it becuase of the size of my tank. even though it is not that big its quite an ordeal when i will not be home as much as i am now....

I have several options....tear down completely part out live stock/corals, and keep live rock, sand and equipment.

Go to a smaller tank I own, 38 gallon....and have a smaller setup

bite the bullet and keep it up and running

or have someone take care of my corals and I will keep my fish.

or teach my family to take care of my tank.


advice is greatly appreciated

what should I do?

-thanks-
