Alarsuel, I'm presently in the same boat, but because I've been here before I'll tell you what I plan on doing.
Read and research what you want in the tank. Whether it be coral or fish, hold out until you get what you want. Buy small specimens. Allow these things to grow in your tank. It will take time to get the WOW you're looking for but small and slow is the only way for the WOW to happen.
I have seen WOW tanks that are "paid for" meaning the person bought big Mother colonies and Large fish and for a week or so he had a great tank, but the system couldn't keep up and algae, Light, Chemistry all went wacko and he was left with a Browned out fussy stick Tank
