Thinking of upgrading my tank

Hello all! I'm new to the forums. I've been in the hobby since I was 6 years old. My dad and I shared a 180 gallon reef tank in our old house, but sadly we had to leave the tank behind (since it had a stand, cupboards, and a canopy) when we moved out when I was 12. I seriously got back into the hobby 7 years ago when I was 16. We started with a 50 gallon tank with 6 fish: 1 Sailfin Tang (Zebrasoma velifer), 1 Scopas Tang (Zebrasoma scopas), 2 Ocellaris Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris), and 2 Yellowtail Damselfish (Chrysiptera parasema). Today, only the Scopas and Yellowtails remain.

I've been thinking recently of upgrading to a 100 gallon tank with a sump. My mistake with the 50 Gal was that I had it installed in our roofed patio. This time, I'd love to place the 100 Gal in my bedroom. Any suggestions?
 
I'm not totally sure what type of suggestions you are seeking.
Upgrades are always wonderful (in my opinion) and your tang absolutely needs a larger tank than a 50 gallon.
I'm not sure where you are located, but I would think that an indoor environment would make maintaining a stable tank would be easier inside than out.

Ultimately I think the big question is: what do you want to accomplish with the tank? Are you looking for more fish? To add coral? Or simply to move your existing setup into more space and a different location?
 
I'm sorry I should have been more specific. I'm from the Philippines.

Yes, I'd definitely love to move my Tang out the 50 Gal, but I want to set up a totally different tank from the one I have outdoors. I'm thinking more fish and definitely a diverse addition of corals, live rocks, and maybe sea anemone. It's my belated birthday and Christmas give to my dad, so I'd like to do a full set up. I actually tried to contact the family who bought our house to see if our old 180 Gal is still there, but unfortunately they had sold it a few months after moving in, so I plan to have the 100 Gal built into a stand and canopy with the sump in the cupboard below.
