What is the most expensive component of your aquarium?

Oh god, I put lighting but then reading the thread I would go with Rock as well. 200lbs@$5 and 100lbs@$3
But then again Lighting is something you keep paying for through your electricity bill

I think you and my wife would get along very well ;D ;D ;D

 

Lr

LR for sure in my new cube, $5.49/lb plus overnight shipping......around $400.

 

I will say lighting as well, but LR is a close second only because I got a great deal on the LR $ 2.00 a pound From a friend

 

mine is the rock, up here its $10 per pound. and i have no filters or skimmers, so the next would be the tank and stand itself.

 

I would say it is a toss up between lighting and my live rock. At $4/lb with 60lbs $240. My lighting was under $200 and the electricity doubled for every month :-/

 

This 20 nano is inexpensive comared to larger. A coralife retrofit 2x36wt w/PC bulbs is the highest single piece of equipment. Rock, sand and livestock outweighs equipment by far.

 

For the 300:
Aquarium
Stand and hood (close 2nd)
Sump
LR and Sand (close 4th)
Lights (I cheated and bought used)
Skimmer (cheating again...)
Pumps

 

Definatly Lights 600.oo , Live rock is next though , probably 500 or so

 

My lighting without a doubt!Almost $800.00 for my 3 pendants on my 125 gallon reef.
