cant tell.. don't want to know.

I got deals on the tanks.. thats the cheap bit! $350 for 220 gallon

 

[packer43064]

125-$150
56-Free!
55-$50
29 starter kit-$50
20-Free
35 hex-$35
Tanks-$285
Filtration-$350(total guess)
Fish-$150
Etc's-$100

Total-$885, we'll round that to 1k since I'm sure I spent more. Not too bad, If I knew it was going to be this much I wouldn't have started. But it's not bad at all if you go slowly.

Lol, I don't wanna know! My latest disaster started when my $2600 Solaris LED's crapped out on me. This was followed by my mother-in-law & sister-in-law destroying my 100gallon reeftank (house sitter's from Hell). Estimated loss >$5000 easily.
Soooooooo after sobering up & quit my sobbing, I've started again, this time returning to freshwater. I'm converting the set up & yet to decide on the stock list.

I have upgraded up to what I now have starting with a 1 gallon tank.
So, I won't count all of the upgrade tanks...1gal, 2gal, 5gal, 10gal, 20gal.......

125 gallon........

125 tanks/lights/glass canopies - $350
homemade stand and canopy for 125 - $150
Fluval 405 - $110
Rena X2 - $50 (got used)
Heaters - $30
Substrate - $50
Tank Decor - $50
Fish - around a $75

Total $865 (quite a bit more than what I thought it would be )

55 gallon......

55 tank/lights/filters/heater - $160
Substrate - $40
Stand - $20 (old record player stereo system)
Tank Decor - $30
Fish - $30

Total $280


Total current setups....... $1145

Doing this list makes my have more understanding of how people on craigslist say they have high $$$$$ in their tank. The total after adding everything does add up fast




So with the two current setups

 

[kevbc03]

Around $1,500-3,000 for everything is my guess.

 

[[enjoyable_attempt]]

Over 5k
