Corylax18 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Very, cool setup. I have a single 20 gal fresh water tank now, and have had much larger in the past. Never took the dive into saltwater, but I know how expensive and time consuming a hobby it can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It complicates things to the zillionth degree. When you start getting into calcium reactors, protein skimmers, auto top off systems, metal halide and LED lighting, reef control systems not to mention just the yearly upkeep costs in replacement bulbs, 6 stage RODI water filtration system replacements, monthly Salt, it becomes the most expensive hobby out there. Since i've taken down the tank and replaced it with this humidor, my electric bill has gone down $300 a month. No joke.

TabacoLibre Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 This is marvelous! Great job to you and your brother. I would love to have something like this set up in my home. First I need to get my own home of course. And enough dough to fill it. But I might consider hiring you and your brother to do it (I'll fly you over, no worries). So wait for my calk in the next 10-20 years all kidding aside, this is very inspirational indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey thanks.....sorry for the late reply. No way....after having the tank up for the better part of 10 years it was a money pit with all the maint. costs and time. It was a 90g breeder size. I'm thrilled with how things are now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have mine on a controller and an auto top off so it's not too bad. Unless I add coral or fish, the only thing I have to do is change the water and clean the skimmer 2x a month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I add coral or fish, the only thing I have to do is change the water and clean the skimmer 2x a month. I had all that as well....all the bells and whistles....calcium, phosphate, carbon reactors....all automated, temp controllers, LED controllers along with the controllers to simulate wave movements. All into it for so many years.....But like boat ownership, there comes that day where you can't get rid of it fast enough.
