I get $12 a month for everything. Plus some bonuses from exams and birthday help. Planning on breeding samurai gourami if I can get that tank of mine running. My dad got my AC110 for me at leastI'm not too far off. Although my parents will pay for most of my aquarium related items, they don't usually pay for fish. I have to pay for fish, and I can only get around $20 a month.
Use it to upkeep your CRS, maybe try straining out the best in another tank
