Yes, you will see a benefit in moving to a lagoon style tank - as this gives the fish a lot more room to swim around in. Plus, depending on the type of fish - it's easy to have multiple "swim lanes", ie: fish that free swim near the top 1/3, fish that swim in and around the rocks and those that like being near the sand bed.
Im selling the 50 gal aio. I live in a 2 bedroom apt & promised myself I'd never have more than 2 tanks...I currently have 5: 55 gallon freshwater, 80 gallon salt, 10 gallon qt tank, 10 gallon ato reservoir & the 50 aio. This an addictive hobby. Not trying to persuade you, but there isn't much of a difference of maintenance & husbandry between a 50 gallon & 80 gallon. If your more than 50% sure, your not going to want to upgrade tanke sizes in 3-5 years, go with the 50 gallon. If not, go bigger now. I purchased both tank used & they were less than a year old. Actually, the 80 gallon was 4 months old & I got with the aps stand for a great deal. Just my 2 cents.
Will 2x the space you happy for a long while……if so go ahead.
Tideline 62 gallon AIO. I don't have any personal experience with them, but the dimensions seems right up your alley
This is a hobby of upgrades. Many of us upgrade all the time. If you have the room and funds and can increase your livestock and coral additions - it's worth moving forward but also assess where you want to be a year or two from now.
Ya I’m not sure if tangs are ever in my ideas. It would be cool to have a yellow but not sure. It would be more for smaller schooling fish. I’d just want a lot of movement.
