Those hidden costs

It’s amazing the amount of money it takes just to plumb and setup all the equipment once it’s purchased. My tight budget just went to hell. Lots and lots of unforseen costs!

Could you please elaborate, I’m interested, thanks!

I just saw your other post with a picture and equipment. That’s helpful! Could you elaborate on the costs, and unforseen costs? Thanks!

Lots of fittings, bulkheads, hoses, clamps, straps, wire ties, etc, and it isn’t cheap. If I had to guess, I’ve probably got close to $175 in just plumbing the tank.

That happened to me too. I though it would be cheap to plumb and set aside like $30 to plumb it. I think the total cost ended up being about $120, and my set up is not even that great. I also didn’t know what i was doing and bought some pieces i did not use. I was in Home depot making it up on the fly, trying to visualize it in my head.
