The Cost of Reefing

[VFX]

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!
