The Cost of Reefing Part 2

[dsaundry]

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

$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.
