I need it to be no more than 12" X 12" (at least 8" X 6") and it can be any heigth. But id like it to be 12"+ heigth. I need the whole setup to be paid through a 50$ amazon giftcard. Maybe up to 80$ if its really good. But it doesn't need to include a filter or heater. I need a light. No more than 10g. No cheap flimsy aqueon tanks, I need it to look nice and led lights preferred. I can't find the right dims.

with those limitations it looks like your limited to something like a fluval spec or fluval chi. There might be others but those are the only ones I noticed that seemed like what you are looking for.
 
quite a number of options there, although I did not check all for your size specs...amazon fish tank

on p 3 is probably the best looking one: here . The weakest part of these systems though is often the light....this one sounds quite spectacular which given the price makes me suspect it is severely underpowered to cover this depth. But check it out.
 
the fluval chi!

PROS:
VERY nice on the eyes, rimless
fountain at the top that stays lit even when the tank lights are off
good reviews on customer service/replacement parts

CONS:
once you play with it, you can tell it's kinda cheaply made
multiple reviews saying the lights short out (remember the good customer service tho)
the fountain makes noise, but you can prevent it by placing decor over it


one good stocking idea is a red clawed crab. You can aesthetically place plants going from the bottom to the suspended fountain so it can climb up for it's needed "air time."
