High Tech Amazon Biotope Or Beautiful Reef Tank?

[Wordy]

I always wanted a Reef tank, but now I've got my planted tank set up I want my next tank to be a Discuss tank. Couldn't care less about the reef.

i would definitely go reef but how small of a tank are we talking here? and what about for the planted? You may have to spend more than what you have for a reef though. I'm going to spend a little over $100 on sand alone i'm sure. After i get my live rock, my total will be well over $1,000 for a tank with just rock in it. and it doesn't seem like i have much to show for it lol..yet. You should've made this a poll to make it easier to keep track of.

i was planning on upgrading my 36 bowfront into a saltwater aquarium and after reading many articles i found that it would cost me 1,000 dollars just in converting the equipment and hardware. stick to amazon and spend the money you would put towards marine to make the amazon look like an award winning show tank.

how much does 30,000 rupees convert to?

If you have the money, time, and Strong floor do the reef.

But make sure to read up on saltwater first.

have you got the tank? and have you worked out how much each one is going to cost? because if your going Amazon, im guessing you want demanding plants, so you will want pressurised CO2 (over here £120) then some good lighting (£80-120 over here) and then some ferts ($40-$50)

you know 100 dolars for fun..

 

[Underwurlde]

£40-£50 for ferts!!!

i was referring to an all in one and some excel. as not all planted beginners (maybe a bit presumptuous) want to be mixing their own ferts.
