New to Hobby, need advance tank selection

DAP, DSA, Oceanic are a few that come to mind. A member here by the name of Dvups also custom builds tank and is recommended. Some of our site supporting vendors have people who can custom build tanks and stands as well.
 
Please send me his contact information. Based on the newbie reading, I think that a 90 or 125 would be better. since the tank will be upstairs in the media room, we are concerned with used tanks unless its not that old
 
IMO, if one of your concerns is leakage or water spillage, you are better off getting a reef ready tank (a tank that is drilled). I've heard of more stories about external overflows or HOB filters messing up and spilling onto the floor. Plus, it provides a nicer look, allows the use a sump (very valuable to hold your skimmer, reactors, fuge, etc.).

I have had a much easier time maintaining my 220G with a sump that holds my reactors, skimmer and a fuge area, than I have had with my 29G without a real sump area or skimmer.

I can't recommend a hang on back (HOB) filter, because I don't like them with tanks of the size you're looking at.
