The Cost of Reefing Part 2
 

Ok, Now that we have an idea of set up costs. How about maintenance, supplies and monthly electrical bills etc. Just a monthly average. Your best guess is fine. Do not include livestock or corals.
By the way there is going to be a part 3..Muhahahahaa:biggrin:

$32-40/month for electricity.

Food, replacement bulbs, supplements, etc. Lucky to spend less than $100/month. Heck, one visit to the LFS can blow my monthly budget out of the water.

Last tank I accurately tracked was $137/month

I don't even know how to begin to track the stuff like electricity...nor do I want to. We have many other pets that require plug-ins as well ;)

I try to stay under $100/month but usually fail miserably.

i cant guess and never tried to figure it out. like anthony says, one trip to the store with a new shipment or something and i'm done. wow these threads give me a sick feeling in my stomach. anyone wanna buy a tank setup????:biggrin:

my guess would be around $70 only because you said supplies and bills no livestock can't wait for the 3rd poll!!

ya, my number is only monthly maintenance, not buying new equipment or livestock.

Are you guys talking about just one tank only or all the tanks combine ???

I know many of us have not just one tank:lol:

One tank or a dozen, Just your supplies and if you know it, your electrical consumption. No livestock or corals.
