If your house burned down...

I think your poll should have been more like:

<$50
$50-100
$100-150
$150-200
$200+

Probably, but I just didn't want to imagine that. I had enough sticker shock adding up mine. Thinking double would have caused heart palpitations

I don't know about other people, but if I count absolutely everything (tank, sump. controller, plumbing, skimmer, reactors, etc) I get something close to $ 1000/gal. Is my math that wrong?...

I'd say ya, unless you have a 10g with really awesome gear

ya i did the math based on my rough 140 gallons. but i would have bought the same gear for say a 55gallon tank.. then my cost per gallon would have been triple what i selected

Just to be clear, this is for brand new retail replacement. Not what you paid for used or otherwise got a deal on.

Oh boy then my numbers are way off. I am lucky enough to have great contacts and get most of my gear and livestock at wholesale. If I bought everything at retail my tank would be super expensive cause you'd have to throw in a divorce.

I meant close to $100/gal. I was only out on "0".....

Everything I currently have based on prices I paid for them is just over $7200 replacement of everything brand spanking new which includes rocks, corals and live stock would be $18,200 based on today's prices before taxes

I could just cry

Wow! I looked at my tank and fishroom and ball park guess 10k. not including money wasted on obsolete odds and ends in boxes...
