150 gallon tank setup

[spragro]

I am upgrading to a 150 gallon tank from a 55 gallon. I am being quoted a price of 6,875$ for the following setup:

150 gallon Oceanic Tank/Stand
50 gallon sump and wet/dry trickle filter
protein skimmer
UV sterilizer
one piece light including 3 150w MH / 4 VHO compact actinic and 4 lunar lights
150 lbs liverock
a few filler fish and softies
related plumbing/pumps etc
labor for setup

seems high to me but trying to gauge - any thoughts?

are these your own calculations or is this someone setting it up for you because that seems a little high to me.

Wow, that seems way high. They must be hitting you hard on labor and delivery. Do you have an itemized list--listing each item and cost?

Looks like a great deal............for whoever quoted it to you, like $4000 for the install, get a price from someone else.
