n8ball2013 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 The wife and I had an anniversary coming up and have been trying to think of something nice to do for the both of us. We have had saltwater aquariums for about four years now. always small ones and we had pretty much grown tired of them and what you could do with them. We decided for our anniversary we'd get a new tank. This is what we decided on its a 150gallon extra high. You dont even want to know how much money we have wrapped up in aquarium stuff. the tank stand and canopy alone were around 1800 the dimensions of this thing are 48x24dx30h. I have to get my entire arm in the tank to reach the bottom.

Dude trust me I was looking at turning my 60gal fresh into salt, the light hood i wanted was gonna cost like 1200, and all the other equipment i was pricing was gonna be another 12--=1300, and that's not counting the live sand, live rocks, or fish, which would add another 500-600 for me.

n8ball2013 Posted August 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 oh saltwater is not that hard. its expensive to set up. there is a plethora of information out there that makes it easier. I had no knowledge of this when we first started doing it.

nautical7 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 WOW.... that tanks bad ass ... i want a slat water tank but im scared that ill mess it up because i heard it was hard to get it all started. They're pricey and also very tme consuming. Getting them started takes a lot of patience and you need to do a lot of research as to what you can put in the tank and with what levels of salt in the water. Once they're up and running they look good, but if you don't have the time to take care of them they'll die in no time. We had one (55gal tank) and it was a pain, ended up getting rid of it.

LoudBimmer Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 ^^ $5200 is nothing for 150g, get ready to spend 5 times more money in your first year. i have salt and fresh water fish tanks. Fresh water cost me about $300 for everything. My salt water cost me $1500+ and it's only 10gallon^^. Shit goes of so quick in salt water, so you gotta check all your levels every week. Watch your calcium and KH lvls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted August 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 I know all about that stuff. the larger the tank the easier it is to maintain actually. I didnt even count the supplements and what not thats just equipment and set up. id really like to see this 1700 ten gallon Quote THERE IS NO BUILD LOG! 1998 Chevy Silverado ext cab Alpine CDA-9887 4 Team Fi 15s 2 Ampere Audio TFE 8.0 2 Ampere Audio 150.4 3 Digital Designs CS6.5 component sets Dual Mechman 370XP Elite alternators inbound! 8 XS Power d3400 6 XS power d680 Second Skin Stinger Tsunami Wiring Sky High A Real Voltmeter not a piece of shit stinger.
