Not including power consumption I average about 100 a month. Add in power and I'm around 200 per month.

now that i've run out of room in my tank i dont need to buy frags (except drafts)... so i'm not spending any money at all now until my test kits run out or salt runs out. got tons of fish goo still so food will last 6 months at least. i just enjoy now

I average normally a $100 a month for my tank whether its corals, invertebrates, or other supplies needed for my tank. When there are meetings I attend and that I dont sell a lot maybe close to $250 but when I sell stuff I normally break even.

With 2 tanks it varys we have spent about 350 in one month once and others maybe only 50 so I put 150 for an average. If you add electricity to that it is a whole new story. Nicole:allgood:

Now what happened if you spent way more than 400 this last month. I mean a 58g ultimate isnt cheap. No mom i only spent about $500 on that tank, i dont know what your talking about. If my mom ever asks tanks are very very cheap.
