    My Marineland Pro 24hr lighting system I forked out a $1000 for (Should have built a retro).

    Livestock would be the 8 heads of purple death zoo's. Equipment is lighting.

    def my live rock, close to $400 I spent, but well worth it since it's the backbone of my biological filtration.

    My 140 dollar scotts fairy wrasse is probably the most expensive critter, but I have seen RBTAs go for 150, and I have 3 of those.

    I don't even want to add up the costs of my livestock.

    Its a toss up with my black tang or my pair of crosshatch triggers. Thats the most expensive for livestock. I have a 14 in clam thats pretty expensive also. Then could be the mh lighting or the live rock its all in the tank other then the light. Could be my electric bill also.

    LOL I know. Mine too. The plug I got only had 5 and within a month it had 3 babies. The guy I got them from didn't even want to add them into the pack because he said they go for 30+ a polyp but then changed his mind, he said they are slow growers and it'd be awhile before the plug filled out. lol
