How Much Have you spent

[fortheloveofcrabs]

Hmmm, lets see...

$170 tank
$150 plumbing
$175 stand
$320 lighting
$100 sump
$375 chiller/heater

total $1290 for a 16 gal bow, mh lighting. Keep in mind you also need water (DO NOT USE TAP!! Edmonton water stinks!) and salt, salt is $$$. Live rock also adds up really fast. Just think about 1 - 2 lbs of it per gallon, and about $10 a pound. So... a 7 gal would cost about $100 in rock alone. Be careful not to under budget like I did... Better to be safe than sorry!
