i would like to know some tank sizes and estimates on the amount of $ you have put in, also what type of tank it is? just a poll , everyone welcome, lets see how many tanks we can account for, big or small saltwater or fresh, reef or not. they say sailing is expensive but what about a salt water tank?

120 Gallon - And ill take a stab at around $4000, including the upgrade from the 55 gallon and all the "items of the hour" bought.

72 bowfront mixed coral reef here. Probably $3500 - $4000 invested to this point, including mistakes. I dont have an exact figure because I dont want my wife to see it.

Already owned tank,stand, lighting, and 90% of filtration and still managed to throw $4800into 85 gals of reef water.... and I hate paying $3 for a gal of milk!
And I'm headed to the lfs today!

I've got about $2500 invested in a 150. Along way to go to get it how I want it, but slowly getting there. How depressing!
