    Do they have something similar to Craigs List on that side of the pond? Im sure there is. I have obtained most of my equipment there at half the cost of new. It just requires time, research and a bit of driving, but it sure saved me a pile of cash!!

    Sorry guys, yes I am in the UK, I have converted your US Dollar Figures to UK and they all seem to be roughly what I was expecting around £700 Plus!

    I think cost is very dependent on the person building it and the direction you take in all the products you buy. My 29g biocube has well over $1000 into it, however my 90g has around $900 into it... The 29g was set up before I knew much about the hobby, and 90g was built much more economically after I had a knowledge base to work with.
