Here is my situation:
Right now i have an 87g tank. I had originaly planned to have it heavily planted with discus. But in a last minute i decided to go salt water. Now my reef was going well until i realized i have to order my fish and corals from accros my map cause my LFs does not belive in stoking them and when they do they are very expensive. The tank has 40 lbs of live rock, some corals and some fish. Now some facts im thinking about are that in 3-4 years i will have to tear it down. So what would be easier to tear it down and do a planted tank so it will develop faster because we all no it takes lots of time and cash to build a reef tank especially when you have to order the stuff in. My original equipment i purchesed asuming i was going to do the planted stuff so thats all good. But i will have about a 100gallons of salt mix and a big protien skimmer. Im trying to do which ever one will give me the most enjoyment in the shortest period of time. What do u think?
