Default 120-150 gallon?

well im looking at building a bigger reef tank but have no idea what to get. I want to keep the price down as much as possible but still have a good outcome. I was leaning towards a 5' 150 gallon tank with T5 or a 120 with T5 but then started to think that may be to much money so then i was thinking a 60 gallon but i figured im going to be upgrading to a 150 or so eventually in the future so why not now? i just wanted to see what you guys suggested on next size tanks for me, and prices i would be looking at for them thanks.

Serioulsy, I'd rather go with a well built 60g than an under funded 150g. Get the smaller tank, and set up a seperate account to start saving for the upgrade. If you get good deals on used equipment for a smaller tank, you would probably recover most of the cost when you sell it down the road.
