It depends on the set up but as I'm finding out early on bigger is better its gonna make every thing easier and it depends what kinda corals u wanna keep I've got a 5 gallon nano and its pretty basic and I think ive already spent $200 on it

a 10G (with a light fixture for a reef) could be set up for under $200, a regular light just for seeing the fish would make it even cheaper


materials:
tank
filter
light
heater
powerhead
rock (base or live depending on what you want)
sand
test kit

besides the light and powerhead thats all you'll need to cycle the tank! sand isnt necessary either, but you get the point

well my tank doesnt count, its a biocube 14 that looks like this:

it came with a pretty good filter and decent lights, it cost quite a bit more than buying everything seperately, and it doesnt support what it could for the price (i do keep corals though)

but for me it was a good option, only if you have the money though
