How much do you expect to spend in a year, and divide that by 12 to give you an accurate idea how much to budget off each paycheque.

That works out to more than my paycheck!

Good question.....

I buy a lot of dry goods (salt, light bulbs/lightbulbs , additives, RO filters, etc.) in bulk, so it would be hard to calculate that part. For fish and corals, though, I'm pretty well stocked to my personal limit, so I rarely buy livestock. Not even going to hazard a guess.

I have to make a conscious decision to stay away from MLFS as it si very easy to spend $100 to $200. I try to buy most of my major supplies on the J&L christmas sales. I also look for their monthly specials as this helps when it comes to replacing lights, salt, filter and additives.

My electrical bill nears $100 alone, lol

Well if we ignore utilities, I still need a 7th option. "Way to much"

I wish I only spent $150 per month. It's not easy being a cronic "reefer addict".

Ugh you just had to go and remind me didn't you? Last year was pretty rough but this year has been smooth sailing so far (shh, don't let my tank know that )
