Sure, I will grant you that, but we are talking a system with luxuries. I would think that with some DIY skills, and looking in the "buy and Sell" on the boards, one could easily have a bare bones 10 gallon nano for around $15.00/gallon. I don't think you could do a large system for anywhere near that price.

In reality this whole discussion is just academic. In real life there are many ways to do things. I am just saying that with modest $$$ to spend, you can have a nice nano, and be happy. That is what it is all about , no
