Craigslist. :) You can buy a WHOLE SETUP for 600-900 bucks thats quality. i mean primo stuff. People need money right now.......not nemo. ;) Check that out first. If not......make sure you buy a tank that has some width to it, not length. Its easier to stack rocks. such as a 70 show. its 36x18x20 somethin. that 18 is what you want. I would do at least 18 if not bigger. :)

very good...................i think glass is a better way to go because acrylic can scratch easily, a good friend of mine has a 300 acrylic and takes very good care of it so it can be done {btw he has a 200 gallon 8 foot acrylic, brand new never wet for sale if your interested in a monster lol}
that being said "all-glass" is one of the best tank brands along with upper end ocianics - -i would get 2 overflows built in, my all-glass is drilled though the bottom, but out the back is fine too just a matter of choice - also figure 300-500 for a good return pump on a tank that size.............i have to upgrade my pump and am looking at awakii pumps right now
as far as a stand goes - -if your resonably addept with tools - some 2x6s and t-111 siding can make a pretty decent stand for a couple hundred max as opposed to 500-700 for a light duty looking factory stand
