Price for a Nano tank?

[tennisace]

How much does a nanotank (with everything you have to buy) cost? (between a 10-20g tank) Include the cost of the tank.

I'm in the process of cycling a 24 gal Nanocube w/stand and so far... just over $700. That includes a RO unit and some minor accessories,ie. surge protector, float valve for RO, salt, etc. Also 40 lbs. of sand (20 LS) and about 10 lbs. LR.
Even the small tanks aint cheap!

*whistles* i thought my 90 gallon was expensive, this thing is like 1/9 and is still super expensive.

Tell me about it. My wife cringes everytime I walk in the house with a bag in my hand!

It is worth it though.

This is my 12 gal... what a mess

Started this with no idea what I was doing. As soon as 24 has cycled I am going to redo this the right way.

I think I have about 300 in mine right now. But the tank was a gift so SCORE

I think it just depends on what you want in it. I got mine as a gift also. But Im still buying everything else for it. It also depends on where you purchase your items. My LFS sells it's figi LR for $8.99/lb. If I bought it online, I can get it for a lot cheaper. Ill probably end up spening between $250-$400, after all is said and done.
