Trust me, that's nothing when it comes to SW. I've seen protein skimmers that cost 3x's that alone!

... o dear ...

Most of my equipment was bought over time as well so that helped with the budget. I also bought everything new so I probably could have saved some $ if I had hit up craig's list. I am always a little worried about what I am getting and what has happened in the tank in those situations though. If I ever get a larger tank, I will probably go that route.

I still cant belive how much they cost. Any estimates on a 30 gal tank the is being converted into saltwater. Not the fish they have a new tank.

New fish,live rock, equipment...

That depends on so much. greech put together a spectacular tank without the premium price and is further proof that the high price doesn't always equal success. I spent about the same amount of money on my protein skimmer as he did on the entire setup. Estimates can range from about $500-$1000 on average for that kind of setup. Your may cost more or less depending on many factors, including where you buy equipment and whether or not it is used, etc.

Greech, just pro. You clearly have a good eye + a talent for the craft. That birdsnest is incredible.

Fishfriend, I'm planning on a 36 gallon FW to SW conversion and I've tenatatively budgeted around $2-3K. I'm not much of a DIY'er and I like to invest in quality equipment upfront. After that expenditure, my tank still won't look as good as greech's (which costs a lot less). There's much to said for the "craft" and skill needed to make these tanks really exceptional.

Thanks for the compliments guys! It has been a lot of fun so far even though I have had my moments of frustration .
