Average monthly cost?

[KErickson978]

Hello all,
currently i have a 29 gallon reef with a ten gallon refugium/sump and was wondering if anyone knew the average cost of maintaining a 50 gallon breeder with a 55 gallon sump/refugium per month.. i already have the tanks, among tons of various other things. basically im in school and have a budget and was hoping i could afford to upgrade before my clam outgrows its space. if not then sucks for like half the tank to make room...

It costs me nearly $100 per month to run my tanks based on the before and after costs.

Light, skimmer and heating will eat most on the money.
