I've been through many set-ups and buy and sell tanks on a monthly basis.
Right now this is what i have and spent:
Tank 1)
125 gallon used tank - $130
Stand and canopy materials - $130
300 watt heater - $20
Fluval 404 - $50
Fluval 304 - free
River rocks - $30
tank ornaments (plants, plastic rocks) - $80
UVB/Heat bulbs - $40
2 -36" fluorescent strip lights with bulbs - $30

Tank 2)
75 gallon used tank setup - $200
Stand - included
48" light - included
200 watt heater - included
cascade 1500 - included

River rocks - $15
bubble maker (never used) - included
2 clamp lights - $40
UVB/Heat bulbs - $40

Tank 3)
45 gallon tall setup - $30

Eheim 2213 - Free
150 watt heater - Free

Spare equipment :
1) 10 gallon tank - $15
1) 100 watt heater - $15
1) topfin 20 power filter - $25
1) hood for 10 gallon - $25
2) turtle docks,1 small, 1 large - $50
1) reptofilter - $18


That totals out to $938.00........I would say not too bad for what i have

Hmm ...

Turtle - $10

Initial setup - $25

40 gallon breeder, new - $100
Rena XP3 - $120
Lighting - $50
Basking platform - $45
Various other stuff - $25

Total - $415 plus consumables, food, etc.

However, we are due for upgrade number 2, which I'm hoping that the filter can still be used on. That will be a 150 gallon stock tank, plus wood, lighting, MVB, and whatnot. I'm estimating $200-300 more dollars?
