Scratch a reef tank off of your list until you are made of money. They are the most expensive to set up and take care of. The cost of a new tank will pale compared to the secondary costs.

Go with a native tank. That way at least your fish will be cheap.

You can get most everything at HD or Lowes except for the glass and resin coating.
