Can someone price out how much a 250 gallon FO tank would cost with a not so expensive glass tank and good equipment.
Thanks

Depending where you do your shopping you could easily get it done for around $2000.00 Try looking for a used tank would save you money....I would seriously suggest a good skimmer even for a FO tank and for that size ASM, EuroReef come to mind, with that said EuroReef is on the expensive side, a good pump, filter system

I would say 50 dollers per gallon of watter at the lfs and 30-40 dollars per gallon online.
oh im sorry this estimite is for a really good reef tank set up
for fish only I would say 10-20 dollars per gallon
I have spent about 8,000 for my two tanks total I have a 80 gallon trigger tank and a 72 gallon reef tank

I would say higher than 2000. I have spent nearly that on my 46G...and I don't even have any fish yet. It is possible to get a cheap tank but the good equipment is gonna cost you...especially the lighting. And don't forget how much live rock you would need...that could easily be a grand right there.

how? I have a 55gl and 75gl and we haven't spent that much total.
Shop smart, let all the lfs know what you're looking for. We got our 75gl used, complete with everything, including fish for a great deal.

There's just sooo many variables here...
Sump?
Live rock?
Sand?
Deep sand bed?
Lighting?
