Suggestion on Tank??


Hi all,
First, let me say that I am new to this hobby. My wife's uncle gave me his nano tank (rather small) and I've been having fun with it over the past few months and I'm hooked. I've enjoyed reading on the subject and learning as I go while somehow keeping everything alive (although I will disagree with those who say my little Hawaiian puffer fish is docile... he's a little mean *******). So now what?????

Now I want to buy a big tank!! I am doing all the research on my own but I've found few people with insight into this process. I'd like to buy something between 150-200 gallons. Right now a local store has 150 gal "corner flow" tanks with a stand and canopy but that is it. I've seen a post that stated "oceanic" glass tanks are best but I can't find any link to shops selling them. What are the time tested alternatives? Are "cornerflow" tanks any good????

I live in Hawaii and I'm a scuba diver so my plan is to link my two hobbies and dive and catch the fish for my own tank but I don't want to waste 3000.00+ on a terrible tank. Anyone have any suggestions or links to good sources??????? Thanks in advance. Matt.
