If I gave you my costs that would be cheating I want to know what an average hobbyist might pay. It's 18l x 10 w x 12 t

??? 150- 200 range ?

I was going to say $180-$250, depending on how you market it.

If you have a tank to put it in and get lighting correct, could be more.


The main issue I see in the Enterprise as a whole, is shipping them. You'll quickly satiate a local market of reefers, looking to buy a custom made structure. Do you believe they would ship?

I'll beta test for you. Ship it here and I'll let you know how it arrives ; )))

Your make two or three, that go together in design for a specific size tank, those could be $500-600 whole aquascape. I've got more into live rock than that for sure and doesn't have a bit of artistic style.

Great point. I may be planning on selling on shelf at at my local and not so local lfs's and I do think I can ship them. At buyers expense of course.

I would.imagine more of a shelf sell piece. Lr in lfs is not handled gently.

I meant more of, my LFS has all the red sea reefer line for sale, and empty.

Was thinking it helps sell both. Staging them with awesome one off off aquascapes so to speak.
