So, as you know, I'm getting back into this...
10-15 years ago when I did this, I was considerably poorer than I am now. I can't imagine a bag of aragonite being 40 freakkng bucks and a skimmer being 250.
So what gives man? I almost am not going to be able to do it, because it's too blasted expensive.
It's looking like 500-1000 dollars to get this thing up and running. And it doesn't look like I'm going to be able to drop that much cash.
I can't recall this being so expensive.
In the end a nice little in wall reef was born.
I love your aquascape and your photobomber!
Yeah I was looking at that too.
I remember when you could get a standard red fire fish for 10 bucks and a purple for 25....
I guess the good ole days are over.
I think some people are high end equipment junkies anyways not to be offensive but there are plenty low budget tanks with the minimum suggested equipment that look good and have healthy animals. just my opinion though
