doesn't ADA (ADG?) or a company with a name like that make tanks that are similiar style to elos tanks for a more affordable price? The reason elos is expensive (besides their quality) is because they are all imported right? Heres a link
http://www.adgshop.com/, don't know how these prices compare to elos tanks...just remember reading that they were more affordable than the elos setups somewhere when i was looking into it....
suggestion might also be to look into getting it built for you instead of buying it built already...
