Personally I'd go with the largest tank you can afford. Larger growing fish need a lot of room to flourish. You can always take your time buying the hardware for the tank.

craigslist or anywhere you can find a teardown tank is your best bet! I got a 90gal build with everything included (fish, corals, lights, filtration, sump, etc) for $900. We purchased a new stand and tank just for visual aesthetics for an extra $1000 or so! Just gotta keep an eye out for locals getting out of the hobby or upgraders and there are some nice DIY's out there for sumps or whatever you need!
