Was NOT commenting on whether you know how to take care of rays or not. Just commenting that rays are high maintenance & expensive, which is your posted reason for wanting to quit sw when you're really on the verge of being able to sit back and enjoy your tank more.

Pretty much nothing other than powerheads & heaters will be transferable to keeping rays. That means getting rid of a lot of live sand, live rock, big fish, skimmer, etc. that you end up not being able to fit into a 29g system. For someone with time constraints & money issues due to school, this changeover sounds like a less than ideal idea and will result in a significant financial loss.

But to each their own.
