That.... And a rather fat bank balance! I could have paid off my bike with what I spent on Marines.....
You need a whole list of equipment though, in all seriousness, so starting with a proper marine tank setup from the start, is your best bet.
Back then, setting up my 5 Footer, cost me in the region of R30K, tank empty, except for some live rock, filled with water, and the DSB properly set up for filtration. Once filled with live creatures, probably another R20k later, you see the end result in the pic posted.
nooit, forget i asked . hahahaha
Only people who can set it up cheaply, is those who live within close driving distance of the sea, and have access to a boat, to gather unpoluted water away from the shoreline
yeah marine is stupid expensive, that's why I stick to tropical.
This is my setup now
4ft 260l mirror sliding top with some mix malawi cichlids and a plec.
They are little excavators these and I have to fix everything every time I do maintenance but within the hour they dig the holes again. Keeps them busy I guess
I once had Malawi Cichlids but they eat anything that fits in their mouths. I know have some tetras and really enjoying the shrimps that I inherited from my in laws when they moved to the coast. Marine tanks have always been a dream but the cost and equipment is serious stuff.
