Well I have ai sol blue lights , can I keep those ? And I have an mp10 does that have I go too?

You can keep all the equipment if you want. Just not really necessary that's all. Selling expensive lights and powerheads will give you more money for fish

That being the case I will def keep it all , last time I checked fish are cheaper than most corals these days so I should be ok if I decide to return to the reef

Hey Saltwater, what size tank do you have?

 

[saltwaterinbrooklyn]

I have a mere 57 rimless with a medium to high bio load

I have plenty of corals from large stag pieces and a large wall hammer and Gsp like crazy and waving hand anthelia and many other corals , and as for fish I have the following :

Sawtooth tang
Blue hippo
Yellow tang
Sailfin tang
Malanarus wrasse
Bi colored blenny
Diamond goby
Pair of clowns
2 chromis
2 springer damsels

FYI all tangs are slightly larger than a quarter except for the sawtooth and everyone gets along very well and I have plenty of rock work and caves for the fish to hide in and hang around I have a program with my friendly lfs to trade out fish for smaller ones once they get too big .

Keep everything the same. Phos ban especially. Lots of food waste and fish poop. as for additives just the cal, mag, and trace elements. Vitamins for the food as well.

I am curious! What would be consuming calcium and magnesium in a fish only tank? Trace elements would be replenished in a water change. Maybe I am missing something.....?

No some times there is an imbalance and you should have these on hand to tweek the system otherwise you will be doing lots of water changes.
