MTV will not be airing Ghetto cribs anytime soon either. Money doesn't make one persons tank better then anothers it ALL boils down to great husbandry and steady chemistry, everything else is low maintainence. Just ask the late great Dr. Eng.

There already have been some 'low budget' TOTM's already. I think some are confusing 'low budget setup' with 'low budget upkeep' costs. Ill admit, there are few ways to keep down setup costs, but with larger tanks, concrete block can be used for a stand (or just poured concrete). Bottom panels might be made of PVC sheet rather than thick tempered glass, and then this makes plumbing alot easier as well. A low-operating cost doesnt mean it has to be cheap looking. Some of the best 'low upkeep' tanks are very expensive for startup.
