How much $$$ invested.

[fali]

My tank is 140gal 48x24x29. I would say i invested about $5000-$6000+ on my tank, equip, and livestock. I will give a breakdown soon. I was wondering how much other reefers invested in their tanks. Like give size/dimensions of your tank and how much your tank/stand/canopy cost, eqiupment cost, livestock(includes liverock, sand ect) and grand total. Just curious on how much $$$ other reefers had to siphon out of their bank accounts. I don't know if this was discussed already or if its a personal thing but as a reefer to another.......just curious.

:shhh: It's very personal and many reefers choose not to discuss such matters in public :theyareon

A good gauge is $/gallon. I think mine is about $40 / gallon.

Enough to know it's wayyyyyy too much.

lol.. Sorry guys.:redface: I figured it might be a personal thing and i respect that. I personaly don't mind to tell if anyone asks. Everyone in or out of the hobby would know already we spent a whole lot of money on their tank.

My friends think oscars and jack dempseys cost more

This is a seriously taboo subject and has recently been quoted by everyone posting an "I'm out of the hobby" thread as one of the factors that led to their decision. Definately not a good topic of discussion.

Too much but 'till the wife doesn't know the total I am safe.......:fish:

Seriously.. can you imagine if our significant others knew exactly how much we spent? :screama:

Thats what happens when you test if your A/C or heater is stronger for a month. LOL :joke:
You have too many LARGE tanks

I probably have about $9+k and electric bill about $100/month

Is the figure just for one tank ? Is that the cost for current configuration or ever iteration since inception of the tank ? How about for the entire length of the hobby ? Saltwater or reef ? Wow.. this could be deep! Let me pop a Valium before I start to think about it. Better make that 2...

Wait can I figure in the cost of the divorce???
