New Setup Need Input...

Right now I currently have a 110 gal. SW with ~150lbs. of liverock and 3" of crushed coral. I have a fluval canister which I'm removing the media from today to increase circulation through my UV sterilizer. For powerheads I have 1-802. 2-ViaAqua 1300's. 1 misc. and 5 microjets that i've transformed into a makeshift overflow to circulate surface water. Within the year we are planning on moving and then I can get "serious" about my little hobby. I am planning on geting a 220g or so and converting the 110 into a sump/ref. Right now I'm looking into things to purchase for the transformation. I also have a Iwaki wmd40xltr that is not in use because of microbubble problems. I plan to use it on the new system. I could use some suggestions on water movement. I think I have the skimmer and lighting narrowed down to ER and HQI's with VHO's. I'm looking at the tunze system, but I'm not sure. How long do those pumps last? It's a lot of coin for a powerhead. It will be a Coral setup, after a while hopefully stonies. Thanks for the help in advance. I'll take all the suggestions I can get.

BTW. I had an idea on how to have the woman (or man) in your life love Reefing as much as we do. See pic. She said YES

The wife factor, for many of us a slight problem. She keeps us from converting our life savings into the glowing shiny thing in the livingroom. In the beginning it was like; "look honey I just traded in the crab for an additional 50lb of live rock" Well eventually they do catch on. I will give that a try. I am married already, so for now a simple "i love you" will hopefully get her to look and appreciate the tank a bit more. HE HE HE
