My 29 is over a grand. I'm adding everything like the mixing station and RO/DI systems.

I just left my tank on Sunday for a week long vacation. No automation besides ato and so far tanks looking well!Automating a 20 gal is about as expensive as automating any size tank haha. Have to if you want to ever leave the tank alone for more than a day.
Wow You are talking US. I am talking Canadian. Guess I got lucky. Sounds to me like LFS should be boycottedI see gem tangs listed at over 1k now and yellow tangs are going for 500 to 600 in my LFS
Same tank for me, and I'm not far off. Not counting livestock. lolMy 32 Gallon Biocube is 4 months old with only one fish and I have spent around $1100.
Those things save a lot of money in the long run because it has a lot of things planned out from the beginning that would cost you a lot more to buy individually. Have you spent a little more or a little less?Same tank for me, and I'm not far off. Not counting livestock. lol
Just wait until you add one SPS colony hahaI just left my tank on Sunday for a week long vacation. No automation besides ato and so far tanks looking well!
25+, and thisAlmost 50 yrs of SW fish keeping… well into 6 figures!
Probably won’t have any colonies for awhile. But the Walt Disney strawberry shortcake and pink caddy are all growing nicely.Just wait until you add one SPS colony haha
I just did a cost breakdown at current prices/equipment available for my 29 gallon with 20 long sump if I built it today.I think my old 38 gallon was pushing a grand at year 2000 prices.

Lol how much do you estimate with livestock that's the real question!I just did a cost breakdown at current prices/equipment available for my 29 gallon with 20 long sump if I built it today.
Tanks, lights, skimmer, pumps, ATO, overflow. = $1050.
RO/DI 4 stage, test kits, plumbing, etc. = $530.
20 lbs KP Live rock, 25 lbs dry rock, bag of sand. = $365
Salt, carbon, etc. = $50
Dosing equipment. = $100.
$2095 before live stock, I could add a couple hundred more to the equipment list.
Is that a Marineland 5g?$235 before livestock, ~$435 with livestock added. It’s only a 5 gallon tank, but I’ve managed to keep costs lower (and I think it’s looking good!) by not being too overly picky. Maaaaybe should have been pickier about my light, but it works and things seem to grow and like it pretty well. Only a few months old but I’m enjoying it!
It is! Great price, and it’s been a fantastic tank for me so far. Only thing I wish is that the stock pump was a *bit* stronger, but it works well for what it is. I’m using the stock light on a small 1 gallon tank to grow some macroalgaes, so it’s all been put to use.Is that a Marineland 5g?
Over the ten plus years of this tank with what I've lost $1000 but that could include shipping. What is in the tank now $500 + excluding shipping.Lol how much do you estimate with livestock that's the real question!
I Wanna hear your ballpark figures on how much you think you've spent on your reef tank so far. Don't tell the wives........ including livestock!
