cost

I am thinking about creating an excel or even adding to my website, a way for reefers to estimate their monthly costs as an internal audit. Not sure if this would be valuable to the community, but looking for insights into what would make this tool powerful and useful for those that want to...

So I recently purchased a RedSea reefer 525 as an upgrade from my last tank a 29gal long …I had the nicrew 150 on it didn’t really have probs. So being that the 525 is 60inches long I narrowed it down between either 3 AI Primea, or two of the nicrews. Any input? I know the nicrew is more cost...

Hi, I've seen a lot of people selling Hanna checkers recently, along with a lot of people having issues with contradictory/fluctuating readings. My question is are they actually worth the money or has the initial excitement about multicoloured eggs worn off?

Hi reefers, I was hoping to get some opinions/tips and what fish I should get and how to keep one. (Although I’ve done hours and hours of research on my own for each of these.) So far my top choices are: Peacock mantis shrimp (top choice always wanted one) Mudskipper Largemouth bass (I know...

I’m starting to put together the equipment for my almost ready tank. It’s a 50g tank with a 20g sump. I guess a 75g capable protein skimmer would work best. The one I had in mind has sold out on eBay, so I was wondering if you guys had any recommendations for a good, efficient, in Sump protein...

Helllo reefers, I was recently at a LFS in NJ and saw quarter sized frags of GSP for $30 each. Personally, I felt bad for anyone silly enough to pay that. In NJ you can grab a frag from craigslist for about $10-$15. Obviously online retail is a whole different ball game. I'm just curious what...

Hi! I’m doing a project for college and $1250 is on the line rn. I know this isn’t a freshwater forum, BUT, it’s the only aquarium forum I’m a part of and I’m sure y’all have owned freshwater tanks too. SO, with all of the equipment and plants, not including fish, how much have y’all spent on...

Hi everyone! I just got two GSP frags at 15 bucks apiece, a great deal for my area, and that got me thinking. What does everyone pay for coral in their area? Here's mine- GSP-25 dollars a frag Bulb Anemones-60 dollars for small one Montipora -65 dollars a frag Green hammer- 85 dollars for a 2...

Over these last few months, I have been more pressed for money and I am starting to look at my tank as a big money pit. Not at the tank itself, but at the cost of feeding. I go through about 100$ worth of food a month, and as a kid without an income, it really hurts. I feed frozen and sometimes...

Never been to a frag show before. How much should one bring to get a decent amount of frags? What do prices for decent looking acros usually run? Will 800$ get you a decent amount of corals? Are frags priced better then if you were to buy them any other time?! All adivice is welcomed :)

I have been pondering the idea of switching to LEDS. I currently have 2x MH 4x T5 with led moonlight not ran since 2009. In the process of gathering equipment for my system to be back up and running after a LONG break. WOOW!! has technology changed! With so many brands and types of LEDS it gets...
