[martym]

Is there every a time in this hobby when your aren't at the LFS spending money????

Haven't bought dry goods in several months... last thing I bought at all for my tank was a gorg frag from Des in Edmonton, in January I believe.

I try not to think about it

What do you use for calcium replacement teevee?

Is cost per week including random livestock purchases, equipment upgrades, frivilious extras, or are we talking about maintence costs such as salt, additives, electrical, yada, yada, yada....

[martym]

maintaince, seeing as how you can't add a fish/coral per week

[marie]

$20 per week is a little high but you don't have anything lower so thats what i voted

I have a calcium reactor. CO2 tank: $80. Reactor: $300 I think... Selenoid and bubble counter: $120. Container of ARM: $30. Really fast growing corals and no dosing: priceless.

I actually calculated the costs last year to be roughly $121 per month. This covered all associated costs of maintenance.

I think I would need a 7.50/week option.. doesent cost that much to run the tank unless you include livestock purchases and you do a lot of them..
