look for high quality used stuff, that would save you a lot of money.

Don't skimp on the skimmer, get a RR tank w/ sump, learn to plumb in the DIY forum, if you are handy building a stand/canopy will save you big $$$.

For anyone to suggest you need to include what size area the tank will be and the animals you are going to keep. You could probably get a nice seventy five gallon going for about that much. Don't forget the amount you will be putting out each month for maint and power.
