Most expensive accessory Ive got is outside the tank; I bought my current house purely because it was the only one in my price range and area with a wall long enough for the tank I wanted to get.
Inside the tank though... prolly my 350lbs of live rock.

80lbs Fiji/Kaelini LR
48" 2 x 400W MH fixture w/ moonlights and HO T5 actinics 2 x Tunze powerheads (worth every single penny) The tank, stand and living things inside are the cheap part! I don't have any reactors or fancy gadgets; all my tanks are quite simple, and still there are a few expensive bits. It's not a cheap hobby, but it's SO worth it ![]()
