Expensive and affordability is always subjective to the individual. At the end of the day, I guess as long as we spend within our means without going to extremes, everybody's happy Love this show tank. You don't see that many rare, expensive corals/fishes, but it is eye popping wow! Quote My old 3ft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
