Striker tell me about the cost. Not a bidding war, but for a good freshwater tank that actually grows plants that you can sell back to the store, I spent: $2500 on my Metal halides all the way from Germany (aquarestarlight future). $1700 on CO2 injection system including bottle. $850 on undergravel heater thermostatically controlled. $830 on two Eheim pro 2 2026 (sumps not good for fully planted tanks). and of course the tank and cabinet 6 footer was $1600.00. Yep it is sure expensive and you are right about the setup of a current salt, but when I had my salt water tank, a lot of these items where not available or just way too expensive. I forgot the fish also 14 Discus at 85 dollars a pop, not including plants. Which I sell Lotus plants back for 25 dollars a piece. Should take me 4 years to get the money back. Maybe.
Great Hobby though and lucky to now have the funds to enjoy it. Been broke once and made it back. Thanks to luck, som brain power on my behalf and the powers that be.
