The tanks probably run about $300. for food, maintance, and electricity this time of year. A little more in the summer time when the chillers are running.
Wow this is beautiful, your tank is so nice and your fish look so healthy, congrats on that part! Nice set up, you've done a very good job. That's a lot of money but they are pets they deserve the best, right! :]
It's been a while since I have updated this thread. The tank has pretty much been running on cruise control with the help of some local friends. The tank is more than I can handle right now so I have made the decision to find a new home for the tank.
I have decided to donate the tank, equipment & livestock to the local Sertoma Club which operates a Butterfly House facility here in town. They have agreed to build a permanent exhibit to house this tank and a couple of my others for the public to be able to view and enjoy. I think that the tanks will make a great addition to the brilliant colors of the rainforest's butterflies.
