Well to be perfectly honest, I havent kept track
. The acrylic was scraps left over from a job I did for another fella. I'll try to run it down right here
Acrylic = Freebie
Black Acrylic = 10.00
Lights = 55.00
Lumber = 50.00
Plumbing = 20.00
Pump = 15.00
Stain and paint = 20.00
Misc. Supplies = 25.00
Total = 195.00 (ballpark figure)
Maybe not a cheap DIY but damn it feels good to do something like this from scratch!! I have since donated this tank to my dear ole sweet mom! She kept my 46 bow for a while before I got married and it just became to much of a burden for her to take care of such a large tank ( handling alot of water at water changes mainly). So, I figured this would be easier for her to keep. She is quite reef saavy!!!
I have also started another nano tank for myself. Its going to be a 9 gallon cube with a false wall but that is another post. Someone here somewhere once said " Beware of nano's because once you have one, they tend to multiply" and I'll be damned if they weren't right!!!
