I know it all depends on how stocked your tank is and how big it is but how much do you guys spend say per month on food and standard maint. On average.
 
you really dont want to know but I have estimated apprx. 120 dollars a month of which 80 is electric, and 40 for other maintenance items. I doubt my costs are comparable due to the system configuration.
 
Wow thats crazy. Looks like you have a heck of a system there though. Going to ask the LFS tomorrow what they think I'd be looking at cost wise per month. Last thing I want to do is buy everything and then realize that I can't afford to maintain it.
 
Mostly depends on tank size and water evaporations and what you would like to do to the system each month.i spend about 32 bucks a month on my 29 gallon not including electric. i buy my water from fish store and do weekly water changes 8 dollars a week 4 bucks saltwater 4 bucks for ro fresh .
