I got it at a local reptile place. They're pretty expensive though. usually just the tank and canopy will cost you about $200-250 for the 3' version, and $250-300 for the 4' version. It makes for a great looking display tank, much like a beautiful aquarium would, which I think was one of the main ideas behind it. Go to www.oceanicsystems.com and see if there's a dealer near you. If not, you could probably find a way to order one or have a local petshop order you one.
But the one downside is the size of the top door. But, if you're just using it for a docile bearded dragon, it's fine. Then again, if you need more space to get a reptile out or a water dish or something in, you can move the flourescent and open up two folds.
I recomend one if you have the money. you can get a 50 gallon one which is the equivalent of a 40 gallon breeder, the 70 gallon which is the one I have, which is 36" long x 18" deep x 25" tall, or the 90 gallon which is basically the same as a standard 90 gallon (just basically the 70 but a foot longer).
I like it better than the standard glass aquarium. The glass is slightly tinted too, so bright basking bulbs aren't as bright on the outside as on the inside. The downside about the incandescent light though is that it's plastic, so it can only hold up to 100 watts (which is more than enough to heat any of them, since they are insulated well), and you can't use ceramic heat emitters, and I'm not sure if you can use the active uv bulbs.
