Hello Folks,
I've been doing Freshwater for about a year now, and I'm starting to get the SW bug. I'd like to start with something small to get the hang of SW, and then invest in a pretty good size setup in a couple years. I'm still doing my initial research, but so far I like (trying to ignore the price) this tank:

Does anyone have this tank? I'd love everyone's opinions on this for a starter tank. When I do something, I have to go all out, which is why I'm leaning toward the MH hood. I realize I'll probably have to get a smaller chiller for the tank, but I think I can live with that.
The only other issue I have is that I'm a college student, and the tank will have to be moved at least once a year for the next 1-2 years. Is this possible with salt water? With my 20g FW tank, I just take about 60% of the water out and throw it in the back of my SUV and everything does just fine. The only thought I had was to silicon/epoxy the rocks together, and possibly attach the whole pile to the bottom of the tank...is that anything?
Well this post is getting quite long and its rather late. Thanks for everyone's input.
