Nice tank!! Some long nose butterfly's are reef safe and others aren't, they are very similar to a copperbanded. You can try it. Is it a BB? Either way, GOOD JOB!!

i like it. you are oging ot need some more live rock too if you want to go reef.
What do you have as far as a sump/fuge?
and what lighting do you have, and what are you looking to keep as far as corals?

I think it looks pretty big. If you look at the pic with the door knob in it -The tank does look pretty tall. I think your tank is a half cylinder.

Ok, if I were you I would get live sand, and put it in, like at least 3-4 inch deep sand bed if you are going to make it a reef. I would actually keep the longnose if I were you, see how it does with the first few corals(I think polyps are the ones you have to worry about) and then if it picks at them then say goodbye to that bugger.

well all that I am saying is that if you are going to be getting reef, I would recommend live sand.

Try it, they are like a copperbanded, they are hit and miss. Try it, if it works GREAT! If it doesn't get rid of him...
