50 dollars for a very large one makes sense, as in a 150.I’ve got jebao wavemakers on my two main tanks. A couple of the gyres on my 150 and SOW-30’s on my anemone tank.
Did you have to go to the bank?For me- good wage but also overtime .
Like me, you Have to Budget:
Actually, those were closer to $150, but compared to the ‘high end’ equivalent, still like 1/3 of the cost. Otherwise I would need a bunch of smaller ones, so this worked best for my setup. I use some of the super cheap ones like $10-20 on quarantine tanks, but like the better performance and reliability of these on my main tanks.50 dollars for a very large one makes sense, as in a 150.
$150 FOR A SEXY WATER PUMP?!?!??!!? I just used a 13 dollar one for my 10 gallon, which has been working for the past few monthsActually, those were closer to $150, but compared to the ‘high end’ equivalent, still like 1/3 of the cost.

Those work ok on small tanks. You’d need 10+ of them on a big tank, so that doesn’t make sense. It would look like crap not to mention be a pain just to plug them all in. Those also tend to be the suction cup type which will inevitably fall off the glass and potentially kill your anemones or coral.$150 FOR A SEXY WATER PUMP?!?!??!!?

I did see some 28 dollar ones that were magnetic, and were like 1000 gph. There was a 35 dollar one that was 1500 gph (but not controllable), so there are some for larger tanks, (maybe not as large as yours tho)Those work ok on small tanks.

So, have just set up my first 180L (Just under a 50-gallon tank) with the hope of upgrading in the next year or two to 125 gallons (Keeping fingers crossed.). I would love to upgrade sooner, but how does everyone afford it?! I have seen ads from people selling off equipment/tanks etc because they have upgraded in the space of a couple of months. I am not stupid with my money, but even if I recycled everything I currently had I could not afford a 125 for at least a year. Sorry for the rant, I am just feeling very disheartened and need help keeping this dream alive.
I don’t know where you are from, but there is a 180 gallon for sale in south Florida for 500. Just have to do your due diligence and check classified. Sometimes you find a bomb deal!
me personally, I started donating plasma to fund my addiction, easy extra money that doesn’t take a bunch of time, plus I’m saving lives lol
