It's always nice to see what can be done on a smaller budget. I believe people can still create a beautiful tank without having the latest, greatest and most expensive corals/fish.

100% dude it just takes patience . my TL550 was a perfect example buying smaller frags ect and once they grow out it will be perfect .

I will definitely agree with that. My first tank was in the UK and I converted a tropical tank to marine on advice from a LFS owner and he told me that you have a choice you can do it on the expensive way or just use what you need so no fancy expensive stuff. He showed me that it can be done with what you have with the least expense to run a tank, I still apply the same principal as you can see in my latest marine journeys.
