Hello,
I've had my Fluval Evo 13.5 for 10 months and it's been a fun learning experience. I plan on upgrading in a few years (3-5) to a large tank dream tank (150-200g) when we move. Anyways, I went to my first frag swap last week and won 2 tanks. A Aquatop Recife Evo 24g AIO with stand and a Deep Blue 30 rimless reef ready frag tank. I don't know what I want to do.

The 24g has almost twice the water volume but not much in foot print, it's 6 inches taller than my Fluval. Aquatop 18x18x18 vs Fluval 24x12x12. The frag tank I might save for when I move and get my dream tank up. I don't have room for more than one of these tanks to be set up. I'm not the type of person to sell stuff I won but it does sound like an option to sell both new tanks for like a 30-60 gallon tank.

What would you guys do in my shoes? I don't want to spend much more money and my 13.5 has a Prime HD so lighting would be covered in a smaller/cube tank.

If your going to set up your dream tank in a year, is it really worth it to set up a new tank now? Unless you plan on keeping it running, I feel like selling it and using that money towards your dream tank would be a great idea.

Sorry I forgot the "s" on "a few year". I won't be able to start getting the motion for my dream tank till we get a larger home which is 3-5 years from now.
 
Keep it simple. Do no sand. And enjoy. Keep your tank as a quarantine for the dream one.

Ok, then setting up makes sense
