Thanks for all of the advice! I really appreciate it. I cannot believe how addicting this hobby is, I am already considering using my tax refund to invest in a larger tank! I am considering something around the 90 Gallon mark... not exactly nano lol but just thought I would put it out there.

It is super addicting. I started off with a 24g and jumped to a 90g only 4 months later. I did end up going back to a smaller tank and selling my 90g but that was only because I had to have the 90g in my basement where I couldn't enjoy it.

Out of curiosity what kind of fish did you have in the 90G? I would love to have a small predator tank maybe a lionfish or something in there... but I definitely need to do more research.

No predators in mine. I had a Kole Tang, Fat Head Anthias, Bicolor Blenny, Pair of Clowns and a Bellus Angel.

I still am not sure which route I am going to go, it requires much more research to be done first. I am a huge fan of the lion fish, but compatibility wise there is hardly anything. Triggers seem extremely aggressive and that will be something I am going to pass on either way. I think maybe instead of doing a large tank like that I will invest in something like a 50 gallon and use the money I save to turn the tank into a Larger Reef tank with a couple clowns or something simple like that.
