Keep in mind guys, that right now I have a 125 gallon, 90 gallon, 2 75 gallon reef, a 55 gallon, a 45 gallon corner, and a 30 gallon saltwater tanks.
I definitely know the upkeep is expensive, and I don't buy cheap fish to stock as it is now. I'd say I spend 50-140 dollars per fish, which is expensive but I like nice, hard to find fish.
20k, 40k, none of that is too much. We'd likely have the tank built in to the basement as the house builds. Set-up my 180 gallon reef, and keep a few other tanks, and then slowly buy equipment and bring the wall tank up to par over a 5 year period or so. This is easily doable for us. While we could set it up in as little as a year, we also plan to start a family, trade out some older vehicles, and save a bit of money also. So we're taking it slow and keeping it realistic lol
Thanks everyone for the help.
Anyone know how many gallons a 10 foot tank (10x36x36) or so would be? Is there an online calculator I could find somewhere?
