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

I try to buy most stuff six months at a time so I don't see monthly bills. I would think supply's run about 120 a month and electricity I have gotten down to about 95 from 130.

I don't live close to any LFS. I try to order supplies online only once every 2 months. Since shipping is usually free with purchases over $200, I know I spent about$100/month on supplies. This doesn't include electricity.
