I have been in the hobby for years and I don't even want to think about what I spent..... easily more than a few g's. If I combined the amount I have spent on all of my hobbies I would have a very pretty shiny penny (Of course I was younger, lived at home and did not think about saving so much - though I did manage to save some).
 
I'll do my 75 gallon.

filters- 2 emp 400-$75(one was free), cascade1000- used $40
Heaters-2 300 watts-$40 used
pumps-$20
sand-$16
decor-$20
tank new-$165
Fish- Breeding pair of grammodes cichlids-$65

sjould also mention i bought a 150 long for $150 and my 75 setup will be switched tot he 150 soon so no extra cost

I feel like I do it relatively on the cheap for going with all quality equipment that will last for years. I'll do my 75 gallon as an example:

Brand new Tank $75
Built a stand $100
2 ac110's $110
250 watt jager $25
Glass canopy $30
Coralife 48" dual bulb light $80
Rena400 and air line and stones $50
Pfs and a terra cotta pot $10

Total $480
