I guess it depends on the size of the tank, but most average tanks i would say dont really put much of a dent in a bill, but on the other hand if you are running a 10,000G+ tank, im guessing you would notice a significant difference...

Maybe a 500 gallon- 1000 gallon saltwater aquarium

That would cost probably 100-200$ or more, a month depending on how you rig it, anything over 180 with proper filtration and basic lighting will be noticeable on your bill, rates depending of course. Account the fancy lighting, extra filtration, uv units, and other gadgets many of us choose to run, but you'll need on a 500-1000g.

Start with a clownfish as at least one person has said on all your threads. Kids..

Lol, why does everyone say that? I never said I was going to buy a 500-1000 gallon tank. I was just wondering.

I only have a 180 and 2x 55 tanks. I would say its an extra 75 every month for me.
