    I personally don't really care. As long as I'm able to manage it, I will pay what I have to. This is the first..well..second..(fishing)..thing I have found that I really LOVE doing.

    Buuut if I had to put a price tag on it I would say upwards of 5k :)

    I started in Feb this year. I have a 25 gallon with 5 fish, good filtration, powerheads, and a skimmer, along with some nice lighting.

    After all so far... I'd say prolly 1200. Which is not good. Because.. yeah, I figured it'd be way less when I started... and now I know, that it's just a fraction of what I will spend over the next few years.

    250 gallon reef tank, or mortgage? hmmm.. dumb question.
