Hey quick question... if I build my tank in the custom with a budget category, do I have to include the cost of the building materials? Or are they counted as freebies being building materials, at least for the main display tank (similar to the stock 10 gallon category, where the display 10g is free but a sump would be extra)?
I'm just formulating a plan and figured out that it might be easiest to build my own tank, but I won't do this if it will figure into my budget. It's looking like my need for a protein skimmer is going to be... well, expensive unless I do a DIY one. On a side note, if I were to buy a skimmer from someone on Canreef, I would put what I paid against my budget, right?

building materials are not part of budget, even if you build it yourself. For the skimmer you would pay the price before shipping (if any).
at least that's how I understood the rules

How do we budget the frags from our own tanks? Sorry, I thought I read that somewhere but I can't find it now.

Market cost.
I had a great idea, it got shot down. So we go with this.

Okay. So if I had a large zoa frag that I bought for say $15 at the Reef Network frag auction and split it in half do I budget it as $15 or as $7.50? If I had a large finger leather I bought for $40 and split it into 4 frags is it $10 or do I have to use the entire $40? I guess I am trying to get a handle on how to account for frags of frags etc
Sorry, not trying to be difficult. I am trying to put together a preliminary budget as my hardware costs will probably be around $200 and want to make sure my accounting is correct. |
