I was in the ball park lol. I would add a better or one for a bigger pool for better filtration.

I would make a nice large algae scrubber for filtration. It is very common for aquariums to use them.

I know the Baltimore Aquarium uses a massive one on their gigantic saltwater staircase enclosure.

I'd do snakeheads...but that's just me... :x
 
The pool may only cost $100, but you'll spend over that every month just to heat it, even if it is covered and insulated in a garage. If it is outside multiply that amount by a few times. It will need to be lined with egg crate or other material to keep it form getting punctured if you plan on keeping big cats. Adequate filtration could be a few hundred or a few thousand dollars, depending on your DIY skills.

I wouldn't waste the money....

You're still looking at hundreds to thousands of dollars worth of filtration. It would be like buying a Yugo with no motor for $100. Sure, it's cheap, but after spending $1000 to put in an engine, you still just have a piece-of-junk Yugo....

Extremly untrue that filtration would b $1,000...i have a couple rubbermaids and a drawer tower filled with some bio/mech with one 2500 gph pump. I use the pump that came with the pool just for circulation, i took out the micron filter cartridge it came with and it is pretty powerful. I have the 1700 gal. 12' diamater. No heaters what so ever and no cover. Water is always around 70 degrees and it is located in my basement. Great buy in my opinion. Most expensive part of mine was an extra 45 mil epdm liner. Cost more than the whole pool lol...
