I almost had a heart attack when I dished out 500 bucks for a tank and stand alone going from fresh water to a 90 gallon salt water, thinking it would be no more than 1000 bucks - $4000 later (not even a year) you learn fast.
you can do it cheap, slow, and likely painful - or hold off until you can do things right, probably expensive, but make it enjoyable.
some people find enjoyment alone in trying to get good deals - perhaps thats your cup of tea.
also is J&L having a sale or these? I see they are 519.00 for the 29 gallon model without a stand
