Question

Maintenence Costs????

I have a 350 gallon living coral reef tank in my home and I am wondering how much weekly maintenence should cost? Does it require maintenence every week? Your feedback is appreciated.

Welcome to The Reef Tank,

This should be a better forum to help answer those questions.

Welcome again

LOL I tryed to post in the other place but it wouldn't work.


I spend about $25 per week on mantenance alone. My actual cost per week to run the system is prolly closer to $75 per week. My current costs are prolly closer to $200 per week but that is from stocking costs.

Really need to know what You mean , Food, salt, adittives. electric bill, water water and so on, It depends on the tank lights, livestock, and last of all you. and what you do to maintain it to come up with a cost, I don't have that big of tank but have alot of tanks, Some cost alot more then others.
