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.

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.

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 . 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. 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.
