Sand and filter its hard to say, depends allot on what you want. Nail guns can be expensive but it will make it easier, also going to want a chop saw for cutting your lumber, or have homedepot precut it all for you.
Just ball parking it here but I would say $150-200 in lumber, nails are cheap, maybe $20 worth of nails. For a pond liner I'd recommend the 45mil EPDM Firestone ones, used one of these in a pond with 24" motoros and never had a problem. Its $126 for the 15x15 version. Your dimensions would come out to 10'x12'

So your probably looking at $350 in materials to build one, cost of sand and filtration is up to you.

Nail it down, also put some wood braces running across the top and nail those down with the liner between the pond and the braces.
okay and about food, I hear bloodworm, blackworm, earthworm, and shrimp should make up most of the diet. what about live baby crawfish?
I have never fed crawfish. Blackworms and bloodworms are only really for pups and to get very picky rays to start eating. Nightcrawlers and tilapia and/or shrimp should make up most of the diet. I feed about 40% tilapia 60% nightcrawlers.
