    Here's what I would do: skip the kole tang. Your tank isn't big enough, and once you get attached to the lil' guy, could you really give him away? I couldn't. Plus, tangs need a very established tank to survive. Also, unless you have enough money to get really good lights, skip those too. No point in spending a lot of money on lights, twice!

    I would get a different fish. A fish that fits your tank and one that you will be able to enjoy for many years!

    What kind of fish do you really like? Colorful, personality, sand burrowers, etc.? What are you drawn to?

    If that is your tank in your avatar, I would get more live rock. Then start saving up for a light if you want to try corals down the road. If you are going to go fish only, you will still need more live rock, just trying to help you Pan :)
