For a total over $6000 on one aquarium.

While I dont care to account for my spending, I will comment on others if its out there, and 6K on one 180 gallon sounds like an awful lot of money for not very much tank. 2-3K could get and set up a 180 royally, Im really curious to see where all of 6K went if Podzy dont mind :)

I know I've spent at least £1,500 British pounds on the hobby; and I look forward to spending that again when I can afford it lol

My 75 is one of the cheapest tanks I've had.

Free tank from a friend
Canister filter was also free.
paid about $35 for each HOB back in the 90's
6 goldfish at 15 cents each
1 L001 pleco at $2.50
7 green cories at about $3.00 each
1 albino rainbow shark at $2.75
1 Rubber lip pleco at $5.25

Total: counting the old HOB's; $85.30
