A reef-ready tank has an internal overflow with holes drilled on the bottion of the tank. You'll also see them called 'drilled' tanks. This makes the set up a bit nicer, and you can put the tank closer to the wall since there is little hanging on the back of your tank.
You can usually drill the side panels of a regular tank, but you should never drill the bottom.

umm, usually you could special order a reef ready tank from a dealer in your area. Check out your local fish store, a pet dealer, even ***** or some other establishment.

... and it's worth it to special order them. Hang-on overflow boxes are a pain in the butt compared to built in overflows.

You can also order them from sites online. The catch there is you'd have to pay for shipping, and it might be costly. Of course, if you can't get your LFS/LPS to order them in for you, it might be your best bet.
