You mean like Ryan's? Who finished in a close second in the latest popularity poll. I don't think too many people are concerned about the stand, after all it's a tank contest not a stand contest. A stand is a nice feature and certainly adds to the tank but not so much in this kind of contest.

I'm not sure I really see the point in a limited budget. To keep rich people out seems like a silly reason and even a little offensive. I think anyone should be able to enter and if someone wants to spend the money on an AIO or reef ready setup why not let them? I don't see an advantage in that, after all not everyone is super DIY handy so why put them at a disadvantage? One could say the same about DIY projects, handy people have just as much of an advantage.
