This poll is flawed in that it requires people to use math which, judging by the comments, is less than perfect.

My calculations are reasonably low until I added the livestock. Then it all went to hell in a hand basket.

Everything I currently have based on prices I paid for them is just over $7200 replacement of everything brand spanking new which includes rocks, corals and live stock would be $18,200 based on today's prices before taxes

I could just cry

Me too, I get deals on everything ir make it myself. But if it all burned down, and insurance was buying new, what's a retail reef worth for you?

Ya, but everyone loves math, so we're all firing up the calculators (or auto sum in Excel )
You need to replace the burned up livestock, empty tanks are a bit boring

If my house lit on fire I'd pick my tank up and bring it to the store

If livestock is included, I sit roughly around $100/gallon. Approximate number; too hungry to add everything up
