I've spent probably somewhere between 1500-2000 and thats on a 20gal. This is one of those hobbies that the more expensive things are usually better...unless you make it yourself which I have slowly progressed into. Its tough making a SPS tank without spending a lot. Thats why I chose to stick with my 20 instead of upgrading...the cost to get a 75 where I want it would cost me another $5000, which I don't have.
I never really added it up but here it....ill do it now
75 gal on sale, $75
DIY stand and canpony $90
LR $250
Southdown $20
Overflow and pumps $120
440 vho $200
Skimmer $88
Sump, $50
Livestock $200
So, about 1500....
not too expensive.
