well if your requirement for this budget tank is that everything be new there are only a couple places to save money...(1) limit the size of the tank so you obviously need less of everything (2) DIY as much as possible...which not everyone has the skills and tools to do (3) eliminate all automation making everything more labor intensive (4) buy low end equipment which could fail and cost you money in the long run....i think the only way to truly save money is to buy good stuff used, DIY, and KISS....
