Wow that's steep for an 80 gallon tank. I bought my 120 all glass for 500. If your handy with tools you could build your own stand and canopy. If not there are definitely cheaper options out there.

Check this out you can completely customize your tank to what you want get a bigger size and still be under 2000 after adding a stand and canopy.

Yeah I just priced a 120 reef ready with stand and canopy for just under a 1000$. Adding they're sump bumps it to 1200.

I dont know about they're shipping methods? I just wanted to show there are options out there that are reasonable.
Whatever tank you buy will have to be delivered by freight company unless its a nano tank they have movers that have no problems going up and down stairs.

There are shallow tanks on glasscages.com you could also call them up and ask about a shallow tank. 2000$ is a lot of money. That extra money you save could go into better lighting better skimmer etc etc. Rimless shallow tanks look amazing just call around.
