The tank that I just set up today... I got the tank and stand free from my brother. I used the live rock I have from the two tanks I just tore down. I bought new sand, lights, skimmer, overflow box, skimmer, plumbing, two new power heads, new test kit, I did this extremely on the cheap side. Oh and its a 45 gallon tank. I am into as i wright a little over $700 usd.
 
Hello and welcome to the site...check your local craigslist.com for deals of people getting out the hobby or up/downgrading.
 
Associated costs can vary based on your locale.

First thing you should do is RESEARCH. Read some articles. I can't stress the importance of this enough.....there is a lot of information to assimilate and rushing through it almost always ends in disaster. You'll be much happier in the end if you research everything very carefully.

I also seem to remember things being more expensive down under.
