I've thought about this a couple times when I think about buying stuff and I usually let out a sigh but I'm in it for so much already what's another $1000......

Honestly,

I would be out of the addiction if that happened. Take the $$ and run screaming in the other direction. Like I tell my non-reefing friends, a crack addiction would be cheaper. I just redid my 2' cube from reef into fw and total cost of the fw fish/plants, etc was about $100 and its fully stocked. That's like 2 corals or one really nice small colony and one frag at today's prices.

I think your poll should have been more like:

<$50
$50-100
$100-150
$150-200
$200+

Probably, but I just didn't want to imagine that. I had enough sticker shock adding up mine. Thinking double would have caused heart palpitations

I don't know about other people, but if I count absolutely everything (tank, sump. controller, plumbing, skimmer, reactors, etc) I get something close to $ 1000/gal. Is my math that wrong?...

Just to be clear, this is for brand new retail replacement. Not what you paid for used or otherwise got a deal on.

Oh boy then my numbers are way off. I am lucky enough to have great contacts and get most of my gear and livestock at wholesale. If I bought everything at retail my tank would be super expensive cause you'd have to throw in a divorce.
