WELCOME MY DUDE!!! Also about the frag tank, longer is definitely better for different flow rate, I'd recommend a 20 long, 40 long or 55 gallon.

When you say "frag tank" do you mean a tank for displaying coral, or just a tank to grow/farm them in?
If you're looking for something to look good, the zoo med low boy 50g is great, as others have said.
If you're just looking for something to grow them in, hydroponic trays are great, easy to drill, and available much cheaper:

Welcome to R2R! Frag tanks can be cheap or expensive to build, depending on what you want. I would suggest reading this article: https://www.reef2reef.com/ams/checklist-before-you-start-your-first-saltwater-aquarium.676/
