A little over a month ago I bought a 180g off craigslist.. Tank has dual cornor overflows, a nice sturdy stank, 55 gallon sump, and two marineland 360 cannister filters.. I purchased all this for $450!!! It has everything but top and lights, and so far all ive stocked in it is 8 silver dollars.. I need a link for a online place to buy a top for the tank, I dont care if the cover is glass or acrylic. I also need a light fixture!!!

you could check to see if they are any places that throw away scrap acrylic and just cut it as desired. sometimes the places have dumpster or a scrap pile and sell it for super cheap. just an idea
Thats a good idea, give me some idea of what type places may have scrape acylic?
I'd expect acrylic to bow, especially if you place lights in top of it. I'd suggest grabbing some plastic hinges either at your lfs or online and order some glass at any local glass and mirror shop.
I like egg rate ... An tiles in the ends to weight it down.. An pellets fit right inbetween the holes no need to take off

if you are worried about it bowing then you can find cheap mirrors and cut them, a little more difficult but do-able but if the acrylic is thick enough then it shouldn't bow unless you are using some serious lighting. also if you get it for free who cares 
but the crates are a great idea also. i cut old pizza dough treys and made lids for my 55 once worked great for me. but sorry idk of anywhere near fairmont to get any its a pretty small town with only lumberton close by =\
