it won't be cheep, the average water temp here is 52 degrees, so you will need at least a 40degree pull down which is going to put you into the 1/2 hp chiller range. then you are going to have a problem with condensation on the glass unless you go with a double walled acrylic tank.. you are still going to need good lighting for the critteres here, maybe not 400 watt bulbs but say 175's. fish may be easy and cheep but the equipment cost and feeding will kill you.
