Part of my problem is foot print consideration. In an ideal world, I'd move my 55 elsewhere, put in a 72" river tank for loaches where it is, and then start with a 55 reef in an yet undisclosed location. Given I don't want to move the 55 SA, I'm left with 2 choices for the reef. 1) room for 36" where people will see it in my very, very small library, or a 55 in my bedroom, where no one would ever see it except me.
Oh, I should have mentioned, the 34 I'm looking at is the red sea max. I may decide after researching it's just not practical, I mean I was reading about curing life rock and smell is a consideration. I have a small house and 2 roomies, would have to happen on the enclosed front porch, fine if I can do it not later than september, after that not practical.
I really appreciate the input, already yiou're making me think of things I wouldn't have.
