thinking of starting a nano- costs?

[jess128]

Hi everyone!
I haven't been on here in ages! I had a 65 gallon reef a few years ago but I was only in high school and it was just too expensive for me to do properly, so I sold everything. Now I'm in university and still don't have much money, but I've been dying to get another tank going for a while now, and I think a freshwater just won't do.
So I'm thinking about going smaller scale and having a nano. I'm wondering if you guys could give me an estimate of the start-up costs (live rock, filters, lighting, etc) and the maintenance costs as well. If I do this I want to do it right, so if it is too expensive I may have to settle for a freshwater tank and do a reef when I graduate.
Thanks for any input!
