Sorry, I'm sure this has been covered before but the search has never worked for me.
My wife bought me a 75 gal (built in overflow) AGA with stand for Christmas as a bigger home for my 1 year old lionfish. He was in a 45 gal. Unfortunately he threw up 3 silversides that I fed him and died in the cloudy mess it left before I got home from work.
Reef keeping has always intrigued me so I start researching starting a reef tank and after cuising RC for a few months now I'm getting sticker shock!
I was thinking I could handle an initial setup of around $2500 (spread out over a few months) but I've seen several here on RC that claim they are $5K into their 1 year old 75 gal reef!
Is that what I can expect after a year? Because I might just have to get another lionfish and call it good.
Thanks,
Pat
