Minus the fire, I have been here twice with my old 150g, I am very sorry you had to experience this. I would suggest taking a day or two to think about it before you actually start selling off. Your reasoning is sound of why you are looking to do it, but I know when I lost everything over a 3 day trip to NJ I just turned the lights off for 6 weeks and let the tank run with carbon on it.
It was because of the several WAMAS members telling me not to make any quick decisions that I still have a tank. My instant reaction was to tear it all down and get out, but I would have just wound up back in and would have had to rebuy everything. Taking a break can be a good thing, when I finally turned the lights back on... where there wasn't hair algae you couldn't look 1/4" without seeing masses of pods.
If there is anything I can do to help, please ask.
