The cost for my tank is probably over $1000, and mine is basically bare minimum for softies and LPS.
Dunno but more than I've spent on toothpaste. I can estimate I lost about $22k over a 4 day period in my last crash.
I don't know what it has cost over the years. It is a hobby If I start worrying that it is costing to much, then it is time to find another hobby.
hmm tops $20-30 a month you can ask my wife - I have keep her well informed on these cost.

We all know there is a Mrs Thelawnwrangler on the forum too
Really?
Surely there are some things which you didn't regret
I'm 'new' still and I too bought everything new and some from China and the quality is very different.
For example, tank-wise, if you bought 2nd hand, if you were unlucky, it could fail right?
I bought a 2nd hand Phosban reactor.....its covered in white specs of.....what looks like paint. I still haven't got around to cleaning it yet and have zero idea how to clean it inside....cant fit my hand in.

lol nah - I get enough eye rolling when I go into any deeper explanation of what things are or what I want to do with the reef.
I regret buying everything new. I should of bought second hand and i would of saved crap load's. I must of spent close to £3000 on my 2 foot cube. It amount's up very fast.
I'd argue, if one sticks with the hobby, that there is actually no advantage to buying used. The cash flow is different, but long term costs are no better, often worse.
