The average new car payment is $734 a month!!! Family and friends will look at me like I'm nuts when I drop hundreds, or even 1k+, on a nice coral. But these same people will pay well over $500 dollars a month for transportation. Personally, I decide not to have a car payment and I work a little extra in order to cover my hobby expensive. So I ask everyone if they have a monthly budget for the reef tank?
 
Once build done, cost is moot - food only for the next year. After that salt and additives 60g cube - probably 2 bucks a day..

Add coral additions in… and well i’m hosed…
About the build being done… still not done - have to get this toy online…
