since its d.i.y.. how much did it cost u ?

Uggh.  That's tough...:

Tank: ~800
LEDs: ~980 (in another DIY thread)
Stand & hood: ~450
Plumbing: ~180
Sump: another DIY coming up!

Those numbers are rough guesstimates including supplies.

Now that you ask I realize my dollar figures didn't include the material I had in my garage that was used for the bottom panel and top eurobrace.
