$1880 and counting!!

BL and Gresham......I called the number and got the message that the phone number was changed. I left a message with the answering service but not response yet.....

I would be more than willing to take you up on your offer Gresham.....I wanted to start with 3 bags (150Gal). Maybe if you stop by there, ask them to check their messages and we should be in good shape!

P2B

 

If I can get ahold of them, I'd do it for you. I'll try to swing by early next week.

 

This is going to hurt...

Let's see, I went the used route..

Used LR...right out of his tank into mine  - 80# - $200
(this included all his LS from a 110 tank, a brittlestar, hermits, and my Splended Dottyback which ate a $50 pair of fireshrimp)

oh, yeah....my Christmas present...
Pair of Tunze Turbelles with multicontroller  --- about $650

So, with other misc. plumbing and stuff I made.... over $2000  and probably closer to $2500 with livestock

now I am depressed..... :-[ :

I need to go shopping now......

 

Blades $4300 might be hard to beat.....I wonder if Moray weighed in on his 1100 gallon, what that might have cost....don't I recall the number $80K!?!

BL- Just think how much you saved with the DIY program!!

P2B

 

True! With the DIY Sump it cost me about $20 for plexiglass, and $3 for silicone. Tank was free from store that went out of business a couple years back. I just grabbed the tank - no use for it at the time. To buy one would have cost a couple hundred.

The used tank/light and rocks saved me several hundred as well.

So I was able to get the Tunze stuff with that money saved!!! ;D ;D ;D

 

on a side note...i was wondering what kind of silicone is ok to use in a aquarium, and where to buy it....i bought some aquarium safe silicone at a LFS but it really sucks.
