lost count but should be around $2k
monthly maintenance cost, excluding the purchase of corals and livestock, should not exceed $40. $30 on bills, $10 on expandable, additives and food. |

tank, cabinet, sump including transport- $250 lighting - $100 skimmer - $200 chiller - $200 FR with media - $100 rocks & sand - $150 salt water - $100 accessories, additives & food - $150 1.5k should be enough for a simple setup with common livestock & corals |

if cost is the concern, you can test water by setting up a nano tank first
but you will have to be more caution of the water parameter tank(2 by 1 feet) - $10 light - $40 skimmer - $80 rocks & sand - $40 salt water - $50 accessories, additives & food - $100 this will only cost 1/4 of a normal tank no chiller nor FR |

better skimmer, stronger lighting, more powerful chiller
its best to consult those bro who own a 4 footer |

Bio system is also very important to a marine system. Best get few kg of bio home plus.

if i'm not wrong biohome plus has the same surface area/volume as normal [grey] biohome.
but IMO no manufactured biomedia can beat live rock/rubble/sand in a SW tank. |
