Ok what kind of cash droping am I looking at with a 240 gallon setup.

Ive already found a tank supplier. Ill build my own stand and canopy.
So what would be an estimate damage on the price, not counting livestock?

i got my euro-style glass tank, 240g, 8x2x2, diamond cut, black silicone, black background, center back overflow box measuring 6x24x6 /w 3 2" holes, two 1.5" return's drilled on the back 6" from top and the side; total cost: 1400 after tax. that's just the tank.

i had my carpenter build my stand and canopy (the supplies for both cost $400)

Sump(s), pumps, plumping parts, skimmer, Calcium Reactor, denitrator, chiller, lighting, live rock, sand/coral. you're looking at another 4-5K

to be safe; $7,000.00 not including livestock

Ok cool. Yeah Im paying 850 for the tank plus minor shipping. I can build a stand and canopy out of scrapes basically lol, i work construction.

I'm actually building my own denitrator now, hopefully i can build a few more items myself lol.
