ouch! I used to reef keep, and understand how hard it can be to stop. I get attached to things ez myself and found myself getting attached to certain corals even, not to mention the fish. A lot of money can be dropped into a reef tank as you know, rocks skimmers, lights, pumps, corals, etc...
I was lucky enuff when I had to tear down my last reef that the local pet store was cool enuff to take my equip/livestock into the store to sell on consignment or buy from me directly. I actually made some profit in that whole deal in fragging out my corals, and the live rock was so lively they sold it as premium rock. lol Just a suggestion if you decide that route. Talk about a time sink hobby even with automating top off etc... jeez!
