Is it reef ready? Acrylic or Glass?

Hi everyone! I have recently caught the SW aquarium bug but I haven't been able to set up a system yet. I plan on taking my time and trying to learn as much as possible before I jump in head first and kill a bunch of fish, waste a bunch of money, and discourage myself from sticking with the hobby. I am hoping that I can come to this board and learn and get support from the other Austin area aquarists. I know I have a lot to learn so I want to thank everyone for the patience ahead of time. My biggest fear is the negative feedback that I get from the people in my life when I tell them that I want to do a SW aquarium. It seems like the only responses I ever get is either 1- it is too expensive, or 2-it takes too much effort. I know that this can't be completely true or nobody would pursue the hobby. Any help and advice that anyone has is greatly appreciated and I will take it graciously. See you on the boards.
