I spent $80 for the skilter, $30 for live rock, $20 for Aragonite substrate, $20 for BioSpira, Tank was free from my half brother in Indiana, $24 for stand, $20 for heater, $12 for salt and $20 for RO water with 14 gallons to spare, $13 for hydrometer, $18 for 7 gal Aquatainers for hauling/storing water, $8 for fish so far. Total: $ 186

Damn not bad... So my 55 G im setting up should be like.... 500-700 or so. i already have the tank. but the live rock is going ot be the wallet killer!

I also already had the glass cover, light, and powerhead, which saved me some cash.

Is it worth it to buy the live rock offline? its 7$ a pound round these parts? so for 55 G ill need about 55 lbs MINIMUM, so bam thats like 400$ right there... after all this money , no way in hell i wont have my lionfish!

I paid $9 a pound. Also I have heard of inverts stowing away in live rock, any chance I got some free stuff?
