i've spent so much money on planted aquariums! commitment is when you spend $200 on substrate for your tank. i'm glad i joined the military and got out of it. i do miss scaping though.... having a full lawn of dhg just looks amazing.
one of the most important parts on an aquarium is the filter. you don't want to go cheap here and risk having a leaky/under performing filter.
if you're really hurting for money, get a HOB.
if you're want an amazingly quiet filter that pumps like a champ, get like an eheim 2217.
eheim's are super quiet, super realiable. i used to clean out my filter like every 3 months.
the thing i've learned about fish keeping is don't go cheap on your equipment. you'll end up saving yourself more money in the long run by buying the right stuff and not having to replace the crappy stuff you bought.
