how much is to much

[duke62]

i just want to know how much money do people spend on their tanks.weekly or monthly.im about 300 a month:sigh:

 

[meschaefer]

I try not to think about it. ignorance is bliss.

 

[Harif87]

Right now im at like $500 this month

 

[SaltWaterN00b]

I spent about $40 last month. Its a 55 gal. Thats not including the electric bill!!

 

[joseney21]

in the past month i've spent about $500 on stuff....

phosban reactor and the media

two books RA vol 3 and pocket fish guide

all new filters gauge and ro membrane for my ro unit, including a new dual tds meter (my old one broke)

clean up crew

corals from from group buys

MR bag and glue

glass baffle and silicone with silicone gun for sump

fans for new canopy (wood and everything else involved with new canopy coming soon).....


all stuff i shouldve had already.

if one was to start the right way with all good equipment, and patience you'd only end up spending for salt and food every few months. i say that because if you take care of your initial livestock you can usually trade or sell to buy new live stock.

this doesn't include electricity used to run tanks.

All depends on how much money you have

I don't add it up. some months I spend nothing, other months it's hundreds.

there are always things I want to buy for the tank. If I added up all the upgrades I'd like to get it might be around 10K. that's the conservative number. if money grew on trees then that figure would be more like 100K

I limit myself between $5-$10 a month. No more no less.

When I get my annual statement from my cc for my yearly activity, I'm always relieved that Marine Depot is always under Fuel/Gas.

Which CC is this?

 

[bad coffee]

I have $3K in my new tank and don't have water in it yet. I still have to spend about $300 more before I can even start it up.

$300 a month! Must be a republican! Horrible the havoc humans will wreak on the environment just to have a pretty display in their homes.

Seriously though I try not to keep track. It certainly varies a lot month to month. I don't really buy any livestock (knock on wood) because I don't need to. Equipment and constant upgrades eat up my reefing budget.

 

[tosiek]

Is this supposed to be about the actual cost of things or the lies we tell ourselves?

 

[Henrye]

Mastercard. Their categories are priceless!:lol_large

 

[ellebelle]

The lies we tell ourselves.

For me, it depends month by month. Sometimes a lot, sometimes nothing at all past the electric bill.
