Actually you would be surprised to know how much $$$ all of that plumbing costs. It really can add up.

what about the cost of running all those pumps???

Funny how one can start to believe anything if it's heard often enough...
Do you have a mantra for those who are in the process of becoming geeks? If so, I would really like to learn it, as I am well on my way! :roll:

That plumbing is intimidating! I do aspire to one day look at a set-up like it and think, "No biggie!"

Wow that is some serious overkill. I thought I had gone nuts with my setup lately. Sadly had I the room, I probably wouldn't be far behind.

i keep looking at it and i just cant get over how much it would cost to run a system like that.

"Oh crap which valve was it that I was supposed to turn off :unsure: "

But when you start a large tank and start plumbing up fuges, a sump or two, holding tanks, CL's, that plumbing becomes necessary. It doesn't take long.

And as justonemoretank mentioned - that plumbing is expensive! He probably has $500 in plumbing in that setup!

I bet more than that. Just looking at the unions, ball valves and gate valves. The size of the plumbing he used also a big chunk of it looks like spaflex. I think $500 is conservative.
