IMO setting up a nano can be very cheap or stupidly expensive. My 17gal is now around $600 for the set up cost and besides the powerhead (vortech mp10) everything was used. It really depends on how much you want to spend in the end.
If you want something around the 200-300 mark i would go with a 20gal long, some retro t5's, an aquaclear 110 and a Koralia 1 powerhead. You will be able to keep zoa's, softies, mushrooms, lps. almost everything you want.
