Well, i didnt include the price of the tank, which was a little costly since i had to have the glass cut. But tanks of normal sizes are quite easy to find cheap.

Its basicly a glass box with live rock in it. Thats all you need really.
But i guess if you start adding other things like salt, refractometer and the various other little thing, it would add up a bit more.

For a more expensive but still rather cheap my 235g tank cost about $3000, thats, a 200g starfire front tank
3x400mh set ups with bulbs
reeflo dart
ocean motions 4way
2 vortechs
marinetech calc reactor
33g refugium
coralife skimmer(but i do want a new more expensive one)
plumbing parts
