I paid $75 for it because it was in a display tank, but it is a nice size rock and has various shrooms and a ton of different colored zoos. Where there isnt a shroom theres zoos so i like it alot :jumping:

As for cost of setup
Tank - $10
Live Sand - $20
Live Rock - 25-30 lbs $125
Light - $100
Fluval -$70 (used)
Various Corals - about $200
2 Clowns - $25 a piece
Purple firefish goby - $28

So about $600 for what i got. But just to set the tank up you would need Live Rock, Filter, Live Sand, and a heater. so that would run you about 200-300. So not really worth it. What i suggest is you look for a used tank. You can pick up complete 55 gallon setups sometimes for 300-400. Thats just my advice.
Thanks

HEY JAKE, COOL TANK. I WANT A REFF TANK TO BUT ITS ALOT OF WORK. A TEN GALLON- I MIGHT BE ABLE TO HANDLE. I SEE YOU HAVE FLUVAL (WHAT SERIES)?
WHAT WOULD I NEED TO GO REEF IN THE TEN GALLON?

I have a fluval 204 and a whisper 60. I had a 304 but it was a lot of movemnt. And then i have 1 powerhead.
What you would need to go reef is good filtration, test kits, and a light. Thats about it. You will want to get either a 96 watt PC or 70-150 watt MH. I went with the 96 because i didnt want to deal with the heat issues and hanging it over my tank. But thats about really all you need if you are just trying to start up a reef

80sbaby smaller tanks dont always mean less work they require alot more daily inspection after initial setup they cost less to maintain
