am in the process of setting my up now...

tank + wooden stand + sump + pump (hailea 6540) + protein skimmer (Weipo driven by a hailea 6530) + sand + coral chips $1.2.

MH + Chiller $1.9k

LR (from CF) $1k

Misc $0.5k

and this is also considering that I will be doing my own setup... kaoz.. I also under budget in the begining but then once you stard you cannot stop lor... :angel:

Your tank +++ is really cheap. Is the glass 10mm or 12mm thick? Is the cabinet made of chennai wood?

The life rock is too ex. A 4 x 2 x 2 tank is about 120 gallons, LR required is 0.6 * 120 = 72 kg. I am only thinking of getting 50+ kg. The cheapest I have heard so far is about $8/kg so 50 kg = $400 to $500.

So far I have see $700 chiller (LFS say it is good for 4 ft) but dont know if it is good for 4 ft.

IMo for 4 feet tank, try not to skim on skimmer... IMo thats the most equipment in your tank compared to your lights and chiller....
