Those arcades are awesome! Very nice landscaping as well. My father used to rip my lil brother and I a new one every time we accidentally crushed his flowers with our soccer ball it was every man for himself. Now that I started this hobby and seeing how much time and effort is put into maintaining a nice tank with corals I now know how my dad felt about his flowers lol
confessionNoo I feel that pressure coming soon though hopefully I have couple more years to submerge all my cash into the tank
Hahahaha so true! I never thought I would be into fish. I always felt like I needed something to cuddle. But now I'm 5 tanks in hahahahaAs I learn more and more about this hobby and progress one thing always crosses my mind and I wonder if anyone else thinks about this as well. When I was younger I used to always want a cat or a dog something I could physically play with and my parents would always say no it’s too expensive to take care of how about a fish tank ? Now I sit here and I’m like if only they knew....
Agreed one of my many justifications whenever I mention something expensive that I want for the tankMany of us tend to go overboard with our hobbies, be it model railroading, R/C modeling, skating, or whatever. But 5K+ is probably close to the norm in setting up a nice, large, well-populated reef aquarium....Setting up and maintaining a large reef tank can't be done on a shoestring IMHO !

Instructions
Threads like this make me crazy, at least this is what I blame my insanity on. Thanks all for the alibi. If I'd only spent 5K I could afford to buy another tank!
Yeah man get with the program! LOLits gone did not even notice thanks,on it ..WOW
I bet I sound like your dad now when I get onto my kids when they kick the soccer ball around!
Ha ha ha!
That’s a really nice setup!!I took a year gathering all my equipment, tank, stand.
That way I had everthing on hand except livestock.
I bought these MH's at startup and just set them up a week ago.
Ran T5's for 15 months since setup.
I have already removed 2 large colonies to make room for something different.
Once you have everything you need the hobby is only as expensive as the corals you want, lol.
I bought all local corals at 20-$60 so they were pretty common ones.
Everthing grown from 1" frags takes a while.
One nub of WD for $150 thats a nice small colony now.
Total cost of setup was still over 4k and I still dont have my stand skinned.
Their are worse things to be addicted to, lol.
This is my 120 as of 5 minutes ago.
Thanks! It is a pretty simple system.That’s a really nice setup!!
Holy cow only 2 water changes?! That’s crazy great healthy system you got for sure!!Thanks! It is a pretty simple system.
I have only done 2 water changes is 15 months.
1 9gal and 1 12gal.
The 9 was for no real reason and I did a 12gal a week ago after a fluconazol treatment that eradicated all hair algae.
Crazy? Yes!...............but good crazy
