Also realize that there is a lot of weight involved with a tank that size. You'll need to determine whether your flooring will take the weight without modification.

Waterbox fan here. The 190.5 gets you close to 200g and leaves a good chunk of change still for equipment if the 6k is all inclusive. If you are looking for tank only with that budget, then the Infinia 230.6 will get you the volume and still have some funds left over. Good thing is you're in FL so you can get WB to deliver or go through a local retailer. Some travel like WWC so you can order through them, then rack up the rewards for coral shopping later.

Glass cages for the win.

What do you mean by "all in one"?
An all-in-one tank is one that has equipment chambers in the display tank, usually behind a wall of some type - think a Biocube or an IM20. So if it's a 200g tank, 30-50 gallons of the tank would be given over to the equipment.

That's what I think of when I hear "all in one."

That seems like a very niche thing to find for a 200+ gallon aquarium. A large tank with chambers in the back, and no overflow or sump, is an odd choice. A custom tank is likely needed. That's why I asked.
