If your house burned down...

And you were smart enough to have insurance that will cover the replacement of your existing display tank, what would it cost, retail, to replace everything in a $ per gallon number.
This comes from a discussion I had recently, and I did the math, which scared me a little
Sorry, you'll have to do some adding and dividing to get a number, but the results could be interesting. Or not

Where's the "I don't want to know" option?

After adding mine up, ya, should have added that option!

Over 7000 for a 70 gallon tank.

But if I had a 300 gallon tank all the same equipment would work.

I calculated mine at $64 per gallon makes me cry.....😭

You got off easy

Also, counting coral replacement. Don't forget, you need stuff IN the tank!

Compared to you and Kien I would say so but then again for anyone in this hobby who takes it seriously everything has a cost that they just don't want to be reminded of no matter if it's a 10 gallon or 500 gallon tank it all costs 😊😊😊

If my house lit on fire I'd pick my tank up and bring it to the store

If livestock is included, I sit roughly around $100/gallon. Approximate number; too hungry to add everything up
