[Glenner’sreef]

So I think I could replace everything for about $ 9000.00

WOW!!! That crazy, I’ve never done that before.
WHAT SAY YOU? ;Greedy

No clue. I don't want to know.

 

[DracoKat]

I think I'm better off not knowing lol

Funny, I felt that way after the tally!!!

Since used equipment is only worth (at most) half the price of new equipment, discount appropriately.

It sounds better that way anyway!

What its worth and what it cost are 2 completely different figures :)

My small 75 gallon had $10k in it over a year ago. Not sure any more.

The older I get the more of a loose hold I have on money and material possessions. It's just money. You should see how much I spend oo bonsai trees. Not saying I'm idiotic with my money, but if I get enjoyment out of what I'm buying it's worth it to me.

Enjoy life responsibly. You only get one chance on this planet.

Probably around $15000 - $17000 to replace all equipment new, live stock is the tough one, quite a few larger SPS colonies, not "designer" ones, but hard to estimate how much multi 12+" colonies go for, I'd probably guess $5000 for total live stock.

That said, there are great deals on used equipment out there, which is what I've mostly gone with and I've down a fair amount of DIY work so I'm into it for far less.

Perfectly wise words.

Hey a coral frag today is tomorrow’s fortune. Lol.

My old pico is worth actually about $600 in frags and equipment. If someone offered me twenty thousand dollars for it I’d decline. About forty would be the push mark. Not joking lol, the ups and downs to old age add intangible value, I wouldn’t sell it for under forty and on a hard month thirty lol yes.

it’s my reefing identity, not a vase.

You might just get some takers. Lol :D

Not a whole lot. Almost all my equipment I bought used and it’s just a deep blue tank and 40 breeder sump. Nothing fancy and the corals are pretty basic too. No bounce mushrooms or master torches to be found. I do enjoy it though!

Remember something is only worth as much as what someone else is willing to pay.

Obvious success AND peace of mind is priceless. Nice post.

Priceless

I just realized the cat is in that photo. Lol
That cat cost more than my entire set up. Bengals cats are the thing I splurge on.

We all have our weaknesses. Thankfully cat upkeep is cheap unlike human children :p
