How much would you expect to pay to make a completely new nano reef tank Including the coral etc, thanks.

They look so awesome, I would love to have one in my room. The only tank I have is like a 2f x 1f so will I just buy a new one or will that be fine?

you can get an orca which has all the equipment just and sundries i.e salt and hydrometer, temp thingy. for about £150 it';s 58 litres as well.

corals etc will be (depending on how many you have ) about £100-£200 including fish

My 10g nano reef cost £170 to set up, and about £400 over the years. Not much you can keep in them though.

Mine is a "red sea max" 13o litre, all kit included and it has cost me £1000 so far the only thing mising is livestock

i was thinking the exact same question, but for a 10g-15g nano

i heard the orca's arnt that good for some reason, lighting or pump or somthing.

how come it has cost you £400 over the years!?

really like a marine tank but might cross it off my list at that sort of money.

are they worth it?

if the thought of spending £400 over a couple of years worries you then i would steer clear of marines totally, that i would say is a very small figure when you take into account running costs, stocking and consumables

I spent a small fortune on Marine Fish and Corals but just couldn't get it right. I started off well got the living rock in left it for about two months with no fish. I bought T5 lighting a skimmer the lot. It was always something, Calcium to low, Magnesium to high a Mantis Shrimp in my rock well he put pay to £100 worth of fish and the Corals just died.
I took the remaining fish back, I stuck at it for a year and well I must have lost about £500.
I don't suggest anybody goes into this thinking its easy and if you haven't got much spare cash you wont have any after.

Yeh!! Thats what in was gonna say! Haha.. seriously, £400 is a really good amount!
