Thank you for that info, Doug.
Jayson's store will definitely be my major stop of the day!
Boy, am I ever glad it's payday tomorrow :biggrin:

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT go shopping at any reef related store on payday!! Sure, it'll be fun at the time, but wait 'till the next day when you realize what you've done. :lol:

:lol:

I put all my change away every day, and it takes very little time to save $400.00 that way. Then I spend it on something I don't need. I fell no guilt at all when I do that. :mrgreen:

< gasp > :eek:

:rofl:

OK guys, I made a typo. I will take all the S**T you want to chuck at me. Mabe I should start using Ispell :question:

Okay, I started up a 15 gallon today here's the cost breakdown so far.

15 Gallon tank, free but to buy it would be $24.99
Aragolive black sand $22
15lbs live rock $75
PC 72watt Coralife canopy $119
50gallon bag of Kent salt $15.99
Aquaclear mini $19 (I think)

I drilled the tank myself and put in a 1/2 inch bulkhead, I'm hoping that it will handle a fair amount of water flow back to my sump
1/2 bulkhead $10
Mag drive 2.5 $69.95
Ebo Jager 100watt heater $34.99
scrap Acrylic to build 20 gallon sump $15
20 gallon tank, $24
Bio balls $15

Grand total of $446 so far, that doesn't include any livestock I've got two Rainsford gobies on hold, I'll put in a couple of shrimp, peppermints probably, and a ton of snails. I may upgrade the light to 96 watts but I'm not sure, I'll see tomorrow.

Excellent, nanos rule. Maybe we can have a 15 gallon competition :biggrin: . My 15 gallon is sumpless, and will stay that way. I currently have a 12" CPR refugium, and an Aquaclear 200, which has Chemipure. I may get one of those Coralife skimmers so I can say I have a skimmer. :mrgreen: At this time my sandbed is in the refugium even though Dr. Ron says that won't work (I think he is full of it, but that is another story). I have only my zoo collection in the tank, but am thinking to get a Yellow Goby to eat all the mysid shrimp that live in the tank. :BIG:

Hmm lets see how much I've spent................

20 gallon tank $40
15 gallon sump free
Ebo jager heater x2 $60
Plumbing $50
Glass baffles for sump $20
MJ1200 that I dont use anymore cuz it's too powerful $25
MJ500 $10
Hagen powerhead $20
Stand $70
Light Stand $50
150w metal halide light $300
DIY 150W metal halide light $160
Mag5 that I dont use anymore $50
Mag7 that I'm using $80
Float switch $20
Autotop off bucket $5
Refugium light $20
Timers $20

Total cost $1000 bucks!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont even remember how much I've spent on livestock, other equipment I dont use anymore, additives and food!

Let see, I still need to buy that skimmer and calcium reactor and it's compete hehehehe
