How much do I need for this hobby?

Hi. I've been wanting to be in this hobby but time and money served as hindrance back then. I guess now is the right time to start.
Called a while ago a local supplier of salt water tanks and offered me a complete setup of 50g tank worth Php 170,000.00. Is it really that expensive? I've kept arowanas and flowerhorns before and I can say that with that amount, I can have one of the most expensive type of both aros and flowerhorns (though I know we cannot compare them. just saying ). I know there must be a way I can start with this hobby without spending that much. To be honest, I'm just looking at a 10-15k budget. How big or small can I go with that amount? the lower the better. I've always wanted a reef tank. at least 35g will do, if that's possible with the amount I just mentioned. Thanks in advance for the replies.
