Depends on what you build it out of. 125's run about $300 (last time I
checked). If you want to build one out of glass, then forget it. Plywood would
be a bit cheaper but not by much (or at all if you don't have a salvaged piece
of glass to use for the front. Other alternatives are concrete and fiberglass -
not economical for a tank this small.

At this size, I say buy one. If you want a really big tank, then build it.
