it depends on what you find i got my 50g (the thread you read) for 50 bucks off used regina. given thereare a couple nicks and scratches but i can deal with itas long as its not too bad and my woodwork will cover the worst of it.
everything has been fairly in expensive so far lights not included ive spent(including tools for drilling and cutting glass skimmer)600 bucks. which was spent from june till now. i estimate by the time its all said and done total cost for this build will be 1100... by dec when water fills it. still not cheap but streetched out over time its do able.
search the local classifieds you never know what treasure awaits dont always have to go new tohave a thing of beauty with a side of stress
