Some equipment you can build yourself for a fraction of the cost.
20 some odd years ago I built a venturi skimmer dirt cheap, and I will be using it again. Recently I built a calcium reactor for about $50 or so and I am almost complete with a dual stage regulator with help from folks on this site alot cheaper than advertised.
I feel hardware in alot of cases is too expensive, but if you don't need all the bells and whistles, you can save a pretty penny.
Corals on the other hand are like a commodity, you will pay what the market deems appropriate.
I am fortunate to be able to buy whatever I want but only choose to buy what I really need.
Choose wisely.
