Craigs List is a good spot to look for cheaper used tanks and equipment.

Yup, Craigslist is your friend. All of my tanks have come from there.

I recommend you simply start the tank with a partition so that a small poart of the display is a refugium for macro algaes.

IMHO the algae will keep the tank for you with little need for much more.
