So, 300 gallons plus the old total of 2056

New Grand Total of 2356.

So far, only 15 members have been involved in tallying up Reef2Reef's monthly water usage, bring us to a total of 2356.

That's an average of 157 gallons/member/month, so far. We have over 18,000 members. Put the word out, get everyone involved!!

Please remember the format. Add your total water usage (monthly) to the grand total, posting the new grand total, so we can keep a running tally. DO NOT count water that goes down the sink, while making RO/DI water. Only add water that actually goes into your tanks, Top Off and Water Changes.

Our current grand total is 2356/month.

5 Gallon W/C per week. About 15 gallons of Top off Per month. So 20 Gallons of W/C Per Month and 15 gallons of T/O per month = 35 Gallons per Month. My Tank is only 29 gallons LOL

GRAND TOTAL = 2481

I add about 1.5g of ATO per day so 45g a month and then about 20g worth of water change so 65 a month for me total.

2581 + 65 = 2646

Please remember to add your total to the previous total and post the new grand total.

I use about 55 gallons a month. That's between top offs and W/C.

Added to our old total of 2753 gives us a new total of 2808

58 Gallon system with a 10 gallon sump. 20 gallons a month for water changes and 3 gallons a week (3*52)/12 averages to 13 gallons a month.

20 + 13 = 33 + 3028 = 3061


New total 3061

I have a 30 gallon tank, and live rock displaces about 10 gallons' worth.

Each week, I top up with about a gallon or two of distilled water. I change with 5 gallons of water. So, let's say, 7 gallons of water a week. 28 gallons of water a month.

3561+28=3589 gallons.
