    The tank itself does not cost that much. If you'll notice, the Ecoxotic 34g is $250, like the tank you linked to. The reason it may look expensive is you are seeing the price for the LED lights, and also the stand.

    Even with tht tnk you would still need to build your filtration system(i.e. HOB equipment or AIO system).

    I think you're best bet would be to get the Ecoxotic 34g w/light and stand.

    No it's not...the light is availible in two mounting options. They cost two different amounts.

    Lights = about $600 or $650.
    AIO Tank = $250
    Tank Stand = $250

    That's $1100-1150.
