It's a modified Fluval Edge with a small sump and Cree LED lighting. The vase next to the...

Typically 120 is as large as you want to go in condos and apartments, especially with sump. You can larger without issues most of the time but 300 gallons would be too much, not only for structure...

$125 would be cheap, I'd pay that just for the novelty. I paid $80 for my non-automatic magnet cleaner.

The trim isn't needed unless it has a center brace built in which the 33 gallons usually do. If you remove the trim you need to add a center brace or euro brace the tank. The glass is not thick...
