I got a great deal on tank and stand--380.00 but now about 3000.00 into it!!!!

 

Heck I spent around $1200 yesterday on my 200 gallon. All in all I would say I have about $1100 into my 40 gallon, and about $2500 into my 200 gallon, but that's not even ready to hold water yet

 

I'm too embarrassed to say what I've spent.

 

hahaha we understand!!!!! Like no one else would!!!!

 

Yep.. I will say this though.. I got a steal the other day. I got $1450 worth of credit for $800. Some guy was getting out of the hobby and sold his store credit to me . It's like free money. hehe. And it's a store that mainly sells premium corals.

 

Wow--send me the SURPLUS credit or corals

 

Let's see...

Equipment:
Tank & Stand were already owned from a freshwater tank. I don't remember what I paid (8 or 9 years ago), but I think was the ballpark of $200-$250.
30 gal of RO saltwater = $22
20lbs base rock = free
10lbs live rock = $25
40lbs live sand = $50
AquaC Skimmer = $75
Fluval Canister = $80
Sundial T5s = $180
Heater = $25
(2) Koralia 1 = $50

Strawberry Dottyback = $9 (dead)
O. Clown = $20
Sixline Wrasse = $15
LM Blenny = $12
Royal Gramma = $15

Xenia = $25
Open Brain = $40

Total of $784

I guess that's not as bad as others, but I told the wife, "No this won't cost that much, I already have a tank". ;D

Tank+stand 1k
Tek Lite + bulbs 600ish
