Joe, are you sure this is what you want to pursue? 1 year ago I was sinking all the money I had into fish but now, I'm looking at other things, such as cars. Spending well over $1000 on a single aquarium is a lot for someone your age, even for most people really.
Why not do it all cheaper? Standard tank, DIY stand, DIY lights, DIY CO2, etc. That way, if you need to move it on it's not going to be a huge dent in your pocket.
