Haha... I don't add up my receipts. But it was close to 4K empty with dry rockscape and I bought the tank used from someone who never set it up. It was still boxed up but I got a good deal on it

I love the look of rimless tanks but the evaporation rate is insane. Probably over 300% greater evap rate compared to when it's covered. That's MY experience of course, others will vary. I guess I'm extra sensitive because we're five years into a drought and are under voluntary water rationing.
Plus, rimless also limits what kind of fish you can keep. As in, no jumpers.
Food for thought.

IF you don't mind me asking, what were the price differences on the different sized tanks?

the 55 cube is Elos 70 ( used - full set up ) $1300.00
the other tank elos 160xl ( used ) tank and stand only $ 2300.00
I was really lucky to find these two gems at these price, very minor scratches

If you're good at hunting down good deals like that, let me know! :D
i'll be getting my first look at how bad the evaporation is on my tank this week.
my wife has a 20G long fresh water that doesn't have a top on and the evap is insane.
i refused to NOT have an ATO on my cube, hopefully it just helps with less trips to the LFS since i don't have a nice RODI set up yet.

My evaporation is easily 10 gallons a week
geez. I'm only using an old 10Gallon tank as a reservoir right now. Which will probably have a good evaporation itself let alone hold enough to keep the cube level.
