I can try to give an idea of what it costs me as of now for my 200 with 75G sump.

Reactor $160

I will estimate the costs of these additives based on what they cost and what I have gone through this month. Its quite easy since on the new tank, its been exactly a month since I started ZEO again. And I bought most of the additives a month ago...

Monthly (approx):

Stones $15
Carbon $10
ZEObak $10
Coral Snow $15
ZEOfood $5
ZEOstart2 $5

Weekly water changes (roughly 60G a month) $30

So a total of approx. $90 a month for my 200G including water changes that would be done anyways. In the future I will be dosing more additives but even then, its just another $5 a month here and there really. IMO well worth it

I get to keep lots of large fish and feed them a ridiculous amount but still keep nutrients down and keep corals also very happy. I have never had fatter fish and nicer colored sps. Something that has not always gone hand in hand in the past.
