basically guys i promise to keep the costs at the lowest but also keep in mind for the combo like DE said... the more i gotta do then the more the cost goes up.... with that being said i can easily see these things costing in the 300 range and the 400 range for the combo cans... now dont write those prices in stone please it could be less or a little bit more....

again i stress i will keep the costs as low as i can but labor is expensive and in the end i gotta make money so its worth my while..... only reason why im even going through this headache is my buddy in japan is asking to start making these "im guessing his gonna start selling these" and he has been a tremendous help in my build
Those prices sound extremely fair to me. Are you planning to make a tank that looks close to the ARC one (seen below). I also think the breather hose is needed.
