jgf86123 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 what kind of budget are you working with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucid Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 for the whole setup? $400 for the tank and all the works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf86123 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Dude, to set up my 40 gallon breeder tank, I've dropped almost a grand into it. You gotta figure you're going to need 75+ lbs of live rock, that's 4+ bucks per pound right there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucid Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 Maybe true, but the $400 is still without any rock or fish.... I meant tank, lighting, skimmer, pump etc. Looking to go USED as well, not new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf86123 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I went used too LOL You can find a 75 for around 100 bucks, skimmer, for one that size, another 150 or so, lighting, for corals? for a 4' fixture you're looking at another 250 or so, pumps, another 200 bucks, test kits, 120 bucks for the full spectrum, sump, 100+ unless you build it yourself, pumps, return+powerheads, 100 bucks or more depending on what you get LOL. Check out the classifieds, a member named Jay has an awesome 120, tank sump and stand and canopy for 650, that's a deal that can't be beat to be honest.
