VFX is on a distinguished road
Default My UK 60g mixed Reef

Here's the set up cost of my 60g mixed reef with approx UK prices in CAD.
  • Deltec Micro Reef - $9000
  • Tunze 6080 x 2 - $250
  • Tunze Controller - $320
  • Upgrade lights to 2 x 150 MH with T5 actinics - $1200

Over $10k for a 60g set up before you even got it wet!

Cost me at least another $6k on top of that once it was stocked & all the 'miscellaneous' items were bought.

Reefers have it good in Canada in terms of bang for buck.

My current Solana 34g set up owes me around $1300 so far not including live stock & corals...
  • Tank, Stand & Light - $800
  • Sand & Live Rock - $140
  • 2 x Korallia 1 - $60
  • 3 x Heaters - $60
  • Power bars & cables - $60
  • Thermometer - $20
  • Miscellaneous - $150

A relative bargain in comparison!

VFX.
