How much should I expect to pay to light a reef aquarium?

I have a 10 gallon aquarium I am converting to a reef environment. How much should I expect to pay monthly/annually, whatever for lighting for corals and everything?

Also, how much should I expect to pay to get all the equiptment like filters, protein skimmers, heaters, live rock, sand salt?

depends on what type of lighting, and with a reef tank you should have a lunar light system or the corals will die.

i just spent 135 dollars on a corallife marine light for a 20 high,

I have seen single strips on drsfostersmith.com for marine tanks with one lunar light for a 10 gallon for around 35-55 dollars.

That is really cheap.

Anyway, filters are the same for freshwater water, so it depends on what type your looking for, internal, HOB, small canister.

You wont need a protein skimmer for a 10 gallon.

Heaters vary, but drsfostersmith.com again has a wide range of heaters.

Live rock varies from place to place, and how many LBs you want. every easily over 50-80 dollars.

Substrate, i just bought a live sand mixture from fosters, for 20LB for 20 dollars. Cant complain about that.

Saltmixtures depend on the brand. i use instant ocean and at the petstore a 10 gallon mix cost me 8 dollars. Online a 50 gallon mix was 10 dollars.

So try looking online for cheaper prices. It wont cost alot in the long run, alittle more than a freshwater tank, remember that fishes tend to be much more expensive. The live rock and corals will cost alot more.

i just spent a total of 400-500 dollars on my 20 high saltwater, as it is my first one.
