the tank was 80..and a Local fish store guy I know made it for me the day I asked for it. He makes all his own tanks for his coral and clam tanks in his store.
Quick breakdown of cost
$25 for building materials to make the stand
$80 for tank
$60 for 150w ballast
$40 for Pendant reflector
$4 for 50lb bag premium play sand
$10 for the new grass area stuff
$65 for the 15lb live rock I got in there
$60 for the 2 Hydor nanos
Heater, aragonite, water all came from my 20g I had setup for the past year. This tank is only 24g so I didnt have to spend anything for salt and those things
well I updated the grass area.
Stopped at a hobby shop and got the Model train stuff.
I think it looks ALOT nicer and alot more like grassy area. The other stuff I had in there looked like a bunch of sticks everywhere.
Once I order all the trees and add them in it should look nicer

well I came up with this idea tonight..Saw some old fake plants I had and thought I could cut them up to use as plants on my beach. Only got a little done so far to see. I like how its starting to come out. Gonna get a few more types to cut up to add some more diversity and order some trees when I find them.
