It certainly looks cool
What are your plans for a reef? Any idea what types of coral you'd like to keep

I have just started researching and learning. Not really sure about corals yet. I definately want soft corals. I need to learn more about the hard corals. Gonna have a few fish as well. Any suggestions.

Starting out with soft corals is a good idea they are a little more forgiving
for Fish in Nano tanks I like Watchman Gobies, Midas or Bi color Blennies, Royal gramma, Percula or Common clowns
There are a lot of cool "nano" size fish that are pretty easy to keep

I have had a Finnex M32 for about 3 years and haven't had any problems with it. I replaced the skimmer and took out all of the filter stuff in the back. IMO the biggest issue with these 'all-in-one' tanks is cleaning them. Access in the back is difficult, so over time crud builds up where you can't get to it. Also, finding replacement stuff like skimmers is difficult because there is very limited room. You can't just add something you like because it may not fit. Even thought it looks really cool, I'm replacing mine w/ a regular glass tank and a sump underneath so I can put in a good skimmer and get better circulation in the tank itself. All that said, it does look cool and it has worked with no problems.
