[patrick8929]

[patrick8929]

[patrick8929]

hey patrick, love what your doing with your tank keep up the good work and look forward to seeing the new lighting

 

[patrick8929]

thank you!!!! its taking so long!!!

 

[splatdye]

I love what your doing and im new to saltwater tanks and doing something very similar to yours but just no money at the moment. how much has that tank set you back so far? considering im in high school about to go to college

 

[patrick8929]

thanks again! well i already had all the equipment lol so not alot to just get it set up. it was about 50-60 for the sand and salt and filter pads. the filter is a way bigger one than you need. but if you want to go the way of mini fug. in the back of the filter than you will want a bigger one. you can get a good one for about 30-50 bucks. live rock was 6 dollars a pound. so 100-200 i guess
