How many times have you been asked...

So, I have been gone awhile. Moved 2 times had a baby. Now it is that time that I want to set my tanks back up. I am only setting up my 46 bowfront. Since I have my house up for sale I dont want to set up any of my bigger tanks. So...
If you could start from scratch knowing what you know now, what would you do different???? I have ideas of what I want to do, but I would love to hear from my fellow hobbyists what you would do differently if you could.

1) Spend the money up front on good stuff so you don't have to buy twice.
2) Failsafe everything.
3) Quarantine everything.
4) Not use CC.
5) Buy a bigger tank.
6) Don't buy damsels (most).
I'm sure there's more...

I had a damsel that killed everything in my tank, I can totally relate!!! Thanks for the feedback. I had multiple tanks and moved and had to break all my tanks down. It has been about 2 years i have not had a tank and it is killing me. I want to put my 400 back up but that was a p.i.a. to move. Since my house is for sale I am putting up my smallest tank. That alone is killing me. lol
