innovative marine is always a great tank brand for begginers IMO, id stay as far as possible from red sea tanks (known for seam failures and other issues)
whats the biggest your willing and/or able to get? in reefing bigger is always better for beginners as more water volume leaves more room for mistakes and is more stable

Not sure that bigger is always better. For a newbie, AIO, smaller tanks doing partial water changes are an easy introduction to marine ecosystems.

I was at my Llocal fish store, LFS. and they had a real nice 15 gallon all in one, tank but it was over 250 dollars, you can get an Innovative Marine 15 for right around 100 or at least that is what I paid. I also say a JBJ AIO tank that was about 40 gallons that looked really nice. Stay away sumps in the beginning. Ask me why.
