How much Mula have YOU spent!

I had $1400 in my 30gal.

My new tank:

75gal reef ready SeaClear System II acrylic - $150 used (Integrated wet/dry compartments make a great refugium with 20lbs of rubble and chaeto, no worry about ever overflowing)

SeaClear integrated skimmer - $85

2 Power Sweep 220 PHs - $50

100lbs 6yr old coraline and star polyp encrusted LR - $100 used

260w Marineland PCs - $200

60lbs of CaribSea LS - $60

So, $645 and I have all major components. Not bad!


PS: Craigslist is the only way to buy a tank and liverock. Print out price lists off Petsmart/Petco before you shop in the store, you average a 40-50% discount.

I kept track of every penny and then stopped counting after I hit the $4500 mark. That includes everything up through about 2 years of operation.
 
It is staggering when you start to add things up. I think I have spent close to $4000.00 on the tank I have now.
 
I think I'm about $4000 with my 120gal up to this point and I have almost all of my equipment. Only things I'm going to add are CA Reactor and Ozone so there's another $600 in a couple months
 
In the past three years I think I've spent around $7000,00 on equiptment and livestock (from LFS,craigslist,ebay), on my 155 if I paid full LFS prices- 12k.
