I gave you the two main glass manufactures in those links I pm'd you for......Oceanic and All-Glass are the two main ones found in town. Oceanic owns All-Glass, so they are basicly the same. There are customs places two, but lets keep it simple until you know what you are looking for.
True-Vu is all that comes to mind in Acrylic.........
research those links I sent you last night, your question will be answered there.
Within those links, (8-10 total if I remember correctly), will be the most common online dealers, common tanks found in the area, popular livestock dealers, databases for new people starting up with TONS of info on equipment needed, basic acronyms and definitions, livestock care needs and what not. Those came out of the bookmarked pages that I have that I found VERY informative when first starting out..........pearls i'm telling you!!!

i see it,but no price 
...
...Also - Bruce (CaptiveReefSystems) sells Oceanic and AGA tanks. When I purchased my 120G, he delivered it to my home. His price were less expensive than some of the Sacramento LFS. I found a few in the Bay Area that was a little cheaper - but not by much.
Another option is to check with John at YourReef. I believe that he can have custom tank ordered as well.

Yeah, thats what I was suggesting also.......but before I would still suggest, looking at the picture gallery on ReefCentral and see which tanks catch your eye.....post them here. Then by looking at those tanks we can help you decide what your equipment needs are......IMO, they are differenent for keeping Fish only vs Softies vs LPS vs anemome vs Clams vs SPS or a mixed reef........the difference is the requirements of the afore mentioned are stricter and stricter as you move through those types from first to last. After you know WHAT you want to keep, then we can help you spec out what lighting, and tanks size/types, filtration setup, and supplementation method....if any you need......based on those pics you can narrow it down that you want a 75 or a 110......but at this point all for sure I know is that you want something between a 24g nanocube and a 300g reef ready glass tank......
When you have gotten the inputs of choices you have, you can then buy the new stuff or find a used system with the pieces that you want already there.........
just buying any used tank may be more expensive in the end, because you have to throw all the old stuff away to upgrade......
That way, you get what you want, and need the FIRST time.

Since you don't know.....shoot for the moon and get what you would need for an SPS tank, which is the hardest and most demanding, then if you decide to get out of the "easy or in the middle to take care of u know" stuff then you don't have to upgrade.....
I would be looking for then:
a 75g, 90g or 110g w/megaflow (55 is not as deep and sucks trying to stack rock in addition some lights are wider)
Metal Halide or T5 lighting......say 2-150s or 2-250s MH or a Tek light or retro fit
Sump
Skimmer
Calcium Reactor/Kalk Reactor......or dose by hand.......
a couple of Tunze or Seios in the display.......
A mixed reef has to have all of the demands of all the criters met, can be hard or easy....most mixed reefs tend toward the LPS with a few SPS, a clam or anenome......one of the harder things to keep because you have to be a jack of all trades and know about interactions and the individual needs......most mixed reefs I think start from people wanting this....then getting that....then moving on to this.....rather than a planned situation......more of an evolution.......
At your knowlege level, if you went and bought an anenome, clam, SPS, some LPS....with some fish.....(fish have different rules of what can go with what and what corals too) you would probably have an empty tank in about 3 months.......
Most saltwater tanks are dynamic living puzzles that is a chess game where every change has an effect on another and may affect your out come..........that outcome being what tank you want to have in the end.
