You capped out the poll at $151+

I think you vastly underestimate my ability to blow my money on reef stuff.

$151 a month is approximately 38 dollars A WEEK. CMON! That's barely 1 fish. That's not even a coral colony.

And what about light maintenance/replacements? Sure you drop $200 bucks on boxing day but that's gotta be amortized over a year.. what about Salt mixes? Food? Additives? Nori? Cleaning pads, the little this and that you just NEED to get the job done like brutes to hold your RO? The power it costs to keep your water aerated until you need it? Carbon? Frag glue..?

oh it adds up. I ENVY crack addicts for their restraint.

I voted 75/month for 2005, but in past years I've topped 1800.00 in 1 year. I keep all of my reciepts for aquarium purchases.

Lately I've been doing really well by not spendng a tonne of money, mainly because I've pretty much maxed out the 65 tank.....uhoh.......upgrade time! I ended up making money at the last frag swap.
