although..its kinda on the expensive side is it possible to make a stand on a budget? not to sound cheap

Well i used 4x4 for mine but you wouldn't have to with a 75gl 2x4 i think would work fine

and I wouldn't go buy the websites price guide, mine cost me just about 100-150 i just can not remember exactly,

Here's a good start for the frame. Then just cover it with 1/4" plywood and mounts some doors on it. Shouldn't cost more that $100-$150 as stated before.

In all reality, you can purchase a stand for a 75g for less than that from Craigslist.
