The options for “I don’t want to know” and “I’ve never been good at math” seem to be missing.

Considering I started build Jan 2019 from scratch, and I've since added to system, and been stocking up with fish/coral etc.....you could guess which one I picked.....don't tell my wife please

Voted $2500.

Restocked on "wear" items black friday from BRS - 8 T5 bulbs, RODI media and filters, doser tubing, new heaters, and various other things. Also bought a Trident, a few live goods orders and oh my god it adds up fast.

Ok I added and option for you. LOL!

I figure between 1k and 2.5k. Electric and food is around 500. Now add water costs and general maintenance upkeep, filters, salt, and then frag swaps

Because my tank is new (2 years old) I spent more than required. Back up items and new livestock accounted for 1/2 of the money.

I stopped counting a while back, as it is people at work think im crazy because i spend so much money on "fish".

 

[ironman187]

Including livestock? Just over 1K. That was due to setting up a 75 gallon with a sump. First tank in over 4 years. Some stuff I had from previous builds, some stuff I bought.

I plead the fifth!

 

[Qasimja]

2 mistakes i made keeping a log in an app of everything i spend on my tank and learning how to calculate how much i spent on amazon

New set up from scratch started September. Tank, stand, lights, fuge, return pumps, fuge light, MP40WQD, sand, rocks, fish, corals and still the list is long of other stuff I need for 2020. Wife knows and supports my hobby, so she's a keeper.

 

[Mical]

[ca1ore]

Don't think I want to know ….. $3,300 at BRS alone …...

 

[Bender]

Enough... lol!

 

[Auquanut]

I honestly don't know and don't want to know. It seems like that might take some of the fun out of it.
