Thanks.... You know...I was guessing about 3 grand...and I was pretty close. Not bad really. I know lots of folks on here can BEAT that total.
I will work on a list and post it a little later.

...you still know nothing......

i'll call you later with timing for tonite.

cost of the stand building components == $$$$$
cost of upgrading lighting for the tank == $$$$$
cost of upgrading the refugium == $$$$$
cost of upgrading skimmer == $$$$$
sitting back and looking at what you have in post #17 and knowing
that you built it yourself == PRICELESS
Also very very nice set up, my wife says in the past 30 months I have dropped $10,000.00 into my system. Personally I am to scared to add it all up.

First let me say...I have a bit more free time than most people.....so that helps. I keep the front and side glass clean with a mag float and a mag float with a razorblade attachment. https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/302366/mag-float-razor The rear glass is scrapped every week with a combination long handle,medium handle and short handle scrappers....I am able to reach 95 percent on my glass. There is a piece of black plexiglass that is outside of the backglass I use as my background. Thanks to all for the compliments.
