i love it when he said "show you how to set the salt water tank, the RIGHT way"
Well this Right way will kill my retirement plan for sure. Ok, time to buy 649 lottery.

Based on what my own little set-up has cost me thus far,...I'm going to hazzard a guess at a little over $100K ...on a side note, Looking at systems like this have really made me want to build a new house sooner than later with a nice built in system...I could see spending 50K easy on the fishroom & systems...It could be my mid-life crisis...who needs a fast littel sports car anyway

My fiance is having a heart attack at me that I want to go so far as to put a plumbed in system in to a wall between two rooms. No separate fish room, no structural changes, and the most elaborate remote built in would be a storage tank to hold R/O water in the basement right below the tank.
I don't even want to think what a system like that would do to the re-sale value of your home, but I guess if you plan on growing old and there it really doesn't matter. My little built in can be removed by simply pulling out the tank and putting up a single stretch of drywall... that thing would probably cost 10's of thousands of dollars just to remove. However, if money truly was 'no issue', I wouldn't think twice about doing the exact same thing, but with an even bigger display (20feet X 5feet baby!)

125K is my guess, just the giesemann fixtures would add up to around 25k retail. I know when the time comes I will do the exact same thing. Who needs a sports car when you can have a giant reef tank in your garage.
