Restarting Large Aquarium

[Shakeel]

I thinking of a price range to start back up my old 150 into a reef tank with a dsb.Buying new MH,Mag12 pump I have a Euro reef cs 8-2 modded out uv sterlizer and a reef keeper elite and a 40gallon long sump.But to and all the bells and whistles im thinking around 2,500 what do you guys think?

Since you already have the tank that amount sounds about right. I am piecing togather one about that size and and it came out to about 2600 but I already had ballast for my hilides.

I would say you could come out even cheaper! Make sure you do a talk build thread here!

you can get used mh fixture for 3 to $400..couple decent power heads $200 or so. You have the rest besides rock and live stock.... I can't see it being anywhere near $2500 honestly... Unless your counting live stock then yeah it can jump quick... It's only as expensive as you wanna make it...

Ok so I still have about 150 pounds worth of nice live rock and a butt load of sps and lps corals in 60 cube with 40 long sump.The thing i was getting at why it would be 2500 because I know this sounds greedy but I want those 2 mp40w w/battery back up and wanted to get some new pendants ballast and bubs.Not to mention two cases of 200g salt mix.And I have already started with the build thread of cleaning the tank with my kids doing the manual labor inside the tank lol.I just really trying to plan ahead of myself I really want this time to go smoothly.
