Maybe you can look in your local paper or at yard sales to see if you can get a second hand tank (thats what im trying to do so i can get a bigger tank for my goldfish) you might have to buy a few things new but it might be cheaper. Or would your parents pay so much on them for you then you could pay them back in time so you can get started a little faster.
