I've got an established 68 litre and I reckon altogether iv put about £850 into that an now iv just brought a 300 litre for £130 but I'm off to my lfs later so it's on it's way up lol. How about this . . . How much was ur most expensive fish?? So far mine was £40
 
Well let's see lol. I've had tanks, my own, since I was 16. So over the years who knows. I currently have a new 55g cichlid tank that I got for a steal. My current tank, probably about $400 with the lights, filter and sand bed. My most expensive tank was my 125g reef tank. I estimated that tank at one time cost me around $4000-$5000 with all the corals, live rock and fish I had in it. My favorite tank but had to sell it when I moved from Virginia to Florida 5 years ago
 
This is a bad one!!! Couldn't even tell you how much is invested, most of my tanks are breeder/nursery setups. running lots of tanks, heaters, a large primary air pump that runs 20 tanks plus all the others - out of the ball park LOL But the livebearers pay the food / goodies for everyone else, the cichlids help with supplies so its all good LOL
 
I have had many tanks & fish for about 40 years. My pond is 18,600 Gal with 65 koi. I can't even guess the $ amount.
 
Probably $2000+ hahaha over 4 tanks, SW, FW, and BW. I don't want to count my bank records, that's no fun. I probably could have saved a couple hundred if I knew what I know now back then... But you learn from your mistakes! I'm gonna have to justify myself with the fact that spending money helps the economy :p Especially fosterandsmith/liveaquaria, I don't mind spending there because their business is so good.

I counted yesterday.... OVER 400 dollars! And I haven't even been in this hobby for a year... 2 5 gallons, 5 ten gallons, and one 29, and of course assorted sized hospital tanks. And I make my own decor and use my own rocks, so that should have cut the cost, but nope...

I dont regret it though :)
 
This is actually my cheapest hobby compared to fishing and paintballing.

I got about $700 of my OWN money, and I'm only 13 lol.

I didn't think paintballing would cost a lot!
 
Im probably going to break my first $1k soonish. I have been in this hobby, seriously into it, for two months.

My paintball markers alone are $1000+ each, then upgrades, other equipments, paintballs, it just adds on and on.

I just dont know how you spend so much on a tank. I've had planted tanks as well and have co2 and I still havent reached over $300 on 1 tank alone.
