How much money do you have into our hobby so far?

[barterking85]

Yeah when I started the thread I should have made it that you can vote multiple times o well when I started I was in the 1000 range now I am creeping up on 5g

Like I said a few days ago, we never really finish spending money on our fish & their tanks. Even when we think our tanks are finished. We either decide to change how our existing tank looks, or if we're lucky we get to start fresh with a new larger tank.
It's a lot like any other addiction that way, as time goes on we all want more or larger tanks.
But I wouldn't want to change hobbies. Even after more than 7 years I'm still like a little kid when I go the FS to check out any new fish they have in stock.

 

[barterking85]

Well I now hit the 5500 mark with my new light my wife says I spent more on fish then our wedding lol

 

[Matteyecus]

Tanks, stands, filters & lights have set me back around $1600 Australian. Then food, fish and plants I wouldn't be able to guess how much I have spent and until recently I always got spring water to put in my tanks

 

[huma-huma]

I've spent more on my 125 sw setup than my fw hobby total....

I actually keep detailed records of my purchases and expenses as well as feeding records and params and observations so I can try to catch any trends that I want to prevent early on. So far I'm nearing the $700 mark.

are these number in the thousands?

My FW 500 gal was well over the 10K mark.

All totaled I am possibly looking at 50K

 

[barterking85]

Not all no just showing how little some can spend and how much others do I have about 5k in my high tech planted 80 gallon

50k?? Over how long of a span

 

[J-P]

Over the course of 3 years.

But given the tank size and racks etc... we had to reno a room for it and that is included in the spending cost.

 

[redsea]

Some where in the thousands. Maybe $1,378 (estimate)

 

[audifusion]

I used an 800 gallon L-shaped glass tank as a center piece in the reception area of our new clinic.

Built the whole reception area around it.

Had to gut the place anyways but the extra cost to make accommodations for the tank would be over 5k easy, not even accounting for the cost of the tank or equipment.

But how often do you get to build an aquarium big enough to swim in???

Worth every penny

[Fishie]

289$ so far ! Have 2 tanks 29G and 10G

 

[New]

i was at about $150 on my 10 and 5.5 planted, then i got a 60 gal which puts me at about $1,000

 

[Mumma.of.two]

Close to $2000 on 7 tanks at a guess. Maybe more. I try and get things second hand or cheap.

 

[iheartmyed9]

Everything is fairly cheap but it adds up so fast.

 

[aquaponicpaw]

I cant Imagine there ever being a such a thing as too much money invested. I've seen tanks w/ the pricetag of luxury vehicles. And somehow in my mind I try to conjure up what "My $50k tank" would look like...

currently I'm about a grand in. But I've been very frugal, And Im learning and enjoying myself as if I've spent 10 times that.

 

[Megacichlid]

$2000+ not sure exactly,its like a drug addiction
