Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I just got a stacked 150 gallon glass tank, stacked on a 50 gallon acryllic tank, with a ~30 gallon hex tank that was used as the sump with the stand, canopy, some lights, a heater, and a few power heads off of Craigslist for a steal of a deal $350 for it all.
I want to start a Saltwater/Reef tank, and my girlfriend wants to start a Discus tank so we've come to a compromise. The top tank will be a salt water/reef tank, and the bottom tank will be a freshwater. I've been tasked with redoing to the plumbing and getting it all set up. The 150 glass tank isn't drilled, but the 50 gallon acryllic tank on the bottom is.
I've kept freshwater fish before with pretty good success, but I've always wanted to try my hand at salt/reef. What do you guys think it would realistically cost to get the whole system up and running? Would it be possible to keep it under a grand?
You can check out some pictures of the setup here if you're interested.
