@ Reef Nutz

How much did yours cost?

 

[wontonflip]

Yeah I found my tank at Craigslist :) Ironically, it was my normal LFS that put the ad up on craigslist :D

I posted all my costs on 1st page. My tank was $300, the stand was $180, Skimmer $160, 2 3200gph Powerheads $45. Couple more small odds and ends basically. So in a nut shell lets round it up some and make it an even $1000.

I am up to about 2300 just in setup costs.. lights being the most expensive part..includes sump plumbing, rock, skimmer and all..

I just looked at what I could buy used and I found the lights for $250 instead of $360, 2 koralia 4 1200 gph powerheads for $20 each (I'd need one more) instead of $60, and a refractometer for $15 instead of $40.
