Another thing I thought of was balancing the type of fish you get. Top feeders, middle feeders, and bottom feeders. Love those bottom feeders as they keep the tank clean.
Avoid the under rock style of filter. They drag all the bad stuff deep into the rock and you will never get it clean. It's a bad bad thing.
You mentioned that a 28 might be too large for the spot you have in mind. My last tank was a 20 and it was quite nice although not large enough to put a big variety of fish in. This tank started in my house and when I needed more room I took it to my office at work, then after a remodel I moved it to the main work floor where the other employees can enjoy it.
