I recently got this tank, and I can’t afford a sump. What option do I have for filtration.Cut the lid and diy a AIO for it it’s an acrylic tank

What size of tank is that? Personally I would just go buy a regular rectangle tank at the petstore, they are pretty cheap, you can easily and cheaply run it with hob filtration, or no filtration at all, I have 2 tanks with no filtration just weekly water changes. That thing doesn't look easy to work with IMO.
 
rubbermaid tub from homedepot, or canister filter, or 20G breeder from petco for $30.

with enough liverock and good flow and a stout CUC you can run filterless.
