I would say _now_ I am spending about 50 dollars a month all from the local LFS here in Bulgaria. In the beginning, I was about 100 dollars a week, but the instability I caused with constant additions and my inexperience led to a multitude of issues (parameter balance and coral chemical turf wars). 6 months after a crash and tons of research later, I'm now taking my time and only ordering select pieces from my LFS based on a long term plan I have created for my tank. This slower and planned approach has had a dramatic affect on the overall specimen health and growth in my tank. Plus it prevents my tank from looking like a LFS with frags littered everywhere (i'll save that for my future frag tank).
With online ordering, it costs an arm and a leg to get anything shipped overnight to Bulgaria. I'm considering an Acan order, but not really sure I'm prepared to drop 300 euro to make the shiping cost of 80 euro worth the hassle. My biggest hesitation is acans here aren't anywhere as good looking or diverse as what is available back home in the USA. I've seen some nice items from Local EU shippers, but the pricing is just silly.
