I'm sorry but if I had $200,000 to spend on a setup it would be just a tad bit better than that... I was expecting a lot more...

Not in Manhattan. It is a status symbol, they are not reefkeepers.

We are DIY reefers you could break 50k easily by paying someone else to setup some the tanks in the club.

I am sure anyone of us who has been in this hobby long enough is easily into the low or mid five digit range even with doing everything ourselves, i know i am. Whatever company is setting up these tanks in manhattan is making a fortune on these rich fools, good for them.

EVERYTHING is a ton more expensive on that island. It's insane, the $ they spend ( and have, for that matter )

However, if they're happy....rock on...

That is true... I didn't think about having to pay someone to set it up Silly rich people
