$7500 for crane rental? Y'all are nuts. I know a local company that does 4 hours for $500 for a crane that would clear over that roof (and yes, I run cranes too and know...). I could see close to a grand but that's it.

I want one of those when I grow up!

They wouldn't even start the engine on that crane for 2,500. More like 7,500 minimum.

uh no it dosent cost anywhere near that at most its 275$ an hr and you pay 1/2drive time. I own A construction company and use crane almost every week.

I sometimes wonder if people with similar setups have tried keeping a reef before. I still struggle with my tank after 8ish years of reefkeeping. I spend a ton of time reading and researching, every piece of equipment I buy I have to read all the reviews to make sure I'm spending my money wisely.

It's not as easy as it looks...or maybe it's just not easy for me.

I would think many of these people who spend this much money don't mind paying for the weekly (or whatever frequency they want) maintenance.

I dont think 10 radion pros is enough to cover a 1000gal tank.

Someone should mention Reefbreeders to him....

Seems a waste to have all those MP60' on the back wall. That's a ton of flow just smashing into the front pane...
I'm not water flow expert tho so maybe tank is deeper than I think

My 150 gal cost me only $765 including everything except corals, fish and salt (which were all bargains too or gifts!) Everything was purchased used or it was free. The free items were given to me by other reefers getting out of the hobby.

I am a recent single mom on a budget. I no longer have the money I used to when I was married but I found a way to keep my hobby going on a tight budget.

$200 tank
$100 stand materials, DIY
$50 sanding/refinishing materials for acrylic tank
$0 lights (traded for something I had from a long time ago)
$60 bulbs 14000k 250 watt Phoenix x2, used but almost new
$70 rock, 70 lbs at $1 per lb and 70 lbs free
$50 Koralia 1400 x2 on sale + free gift certificate from frag swap
$15 Koralia 3 x2 used
$0 Heater, new Jager 300 watt
$0 Mag 750 return pump
$60 Octopus skimmer used
$40 SWC 160 skimmer used
$40 Sand purchased new
$0 75 gal sump found on the curb
$20 baffles for sump
$60 plumbing parts
