He has more water volume in the pipes alone, than all of my aquariums combined.....Im jealous. If anyone happens to run across what he said the total cost was, let me know.

Lol, I am afraid to add it up. My 55 gallon alone with a filter, heater, lid and light was 300$. It came with a few other things here and there but I am getting another 50 gallon filter for it, it already has a 75. I got one 30 gallon from a friend that has a hand made stand and filter and stuff for 100$. Everything else is regular store price.:scry:

I was flying thru the threads to get to the next picture. Imagine something like that! Guys no dummy for sure and took on some understanding.

I also like his 3 stand for the 3 tanks. Each one comes out a bit further than the other...like steps.

Must have cost a fortune. Any guesses? I have NO idea what equipment like that would cost. I mean, I should think at least $50k invested?

Guys, I am slowly working up to this. Yes I did have to save money for a long time and I thought I had enough but I may have to save a bit more to finish it off. I can pay off all my tanks and finish all but my saltwater. I am obsessed. It is terrible and I love it. I go by and look at my new 55 everyday. Just for the long run, only one 10 will still be going and the 5, all the others will be hospital tanks and breeder tanks. I got my 30 for the fresh water and it turns out to be a 29, not a 30 that the person had. I still got it because it came with a 50 gallon filter that was used for a month and they stopped. I ain't got a thing in my salt water but my 30 is going right now, and will be ready for fish pretty quick. Ight guys, I got to go to work, cya.
