    The only problem with this advice is that when it is time to upgrade, some people don't or can't upgrade in time for the fish's size.

    Sounds like your family is really into saltwater. That is really cool.

    These are just my opinions, so take them for what they're worth... :)

    First, I don't like trying to catch fish just to move it, so I wouldn't go the "upgrade" route.

    Secondly, I don't like having 2 of the same fish in different tanks; the purpose for a different tank is to have different animals.

    Lastly, I'd rather point you to a site where you can select what best suits your own desire based on preference and given knowledge. Yes I could stock your tank for you, but you might not like anything I choose.

    I wish I had family as excited about it as yours ! I would have had a tank 10 years ago ! That's great to hear. I say as long as you do your best to keep the fish happy and healthy. Go for it ! Most people are likely to keep a set up healthy if they have the fish they always wanted.
    By the sound of it, you'll have plenty of help to upgrade your set up safely and as stress free as possible ! Post lots of pic of all the tanks .
