(First Reef Tank Ever) **** 600gal Display **** 1300gal System

[gypsana]

Somewhere in this thread that question has been asked before and he declined to answer. To me I do not care for people asking how much things cost because it is irrelevant to me. If someone really wanted to know how much this project cost all you have to do is make a list of all the components and do a little research if it is that important to you. I am not trying to harp on anyone, I just feel that there is too much emphasis put on the monetary value of our existence. For me things of that nature are personal.

Well it's nice that you feel that way, but please keep your opinion to yourself so the rest of us who would like to know what it cost, can get an answer. No one is asking you about your setup so you should have no problem with the question personally.

they have the same free will to ask the price as you do to say it bothers you. if its stated that he doesnt want them to ask then the poster should have read that. instead of keep getting bashed. next time just say the original poster doesnt not want to give prices. thats all.

I did not mean for it to be a bash fest. I was just stating my opinion.

That is what these boards are for and I feel I should be free to my opinions just like everyone else. I do not feel that I was being rude about it. Sorry if some people do not like how I feel.

 

[rappa]

Yeah your opinions are great and they are welcomed when it comes to reef or fish keeping or anything else that someone may ask you on this board. It just kinda rubbed me the wrong way when blasted the guy for asking the question that most people want to know whether they admit it or not. He may not want to answer the question and that's fine, but it's not rude to ask. We are all in the same hobby and should be able to share info on what a certain setup costs...

 

[grubsnaek]

thats y ur the peoples CHAMP.....

 

[grubsnaek]

honestly with out any other meaning besides what im going to say, i do see other peoples set up and wonder if i can swing that. its not tryin to see if the person got money, look at the set up and the house. looks to me like he can handle it. i think there was no pun intended just a question.
its not like they asked in a smart alik way.

Following this thread, I have to say this is one of THE BEST threads I have ever seen !! I'm extremely impressed with this tank and it is a very well-planned project. I practically got a headache watching this all come together.

A great job well done !! Now, when you gonna sell your house with the tank set up ?
