Every December I top up on certain products that the systems requires to keep going,just to get the feel around I was wondering who else does the same thing.
I will need the following in the next month or so:
2 x Deniballs R600
2 x Antiphos Fe R600
2 kg zeovit zeomag magnesium granulate R500
20 kg Hydrocarbonate R1000
2 x life A R350
3 kg Kent Coral builder R900
2 x TM calcium and magnesium test kits R800
2 x red sea KH test kits R300
3 kg kalkwasser R400
2 kg Kent Biosedemint R300
kent Max products R700
The total is over R6000 ,and to think that its all just products.

I only worked this out this morning and believe me I was shocked .The problem is I cant run the system sufficiently without these products.
Please note each product price is what I assume I will pay these days, so this is not an actual price list.

 
but you do raise a very interesting question as to what people need to dose to have a top class sps dominated tank. thats a hectic list and a nasty price tag, but will last an age i should think, just tough to fork out all at once
 
Why do you do it in December? Might come across as being selfish to the wife.
 
go to go back to FOWLR:)

Come on hows that gonna help me !:)
If I do that I might as well shut down as I cannot see myself looking at pink rock and fishies all the time.And I will prolly have to spend on products anyway to get that damm pink rock looking good.

Hahaha Crispin do u wanne handle this 1.
Dohn I always do, thats how i plan my system for the year ahead.
 
Looking at your setup.That is money well spent. ;)

Maybe have a collection can close to the tank for visitors to fill:whistling:

LOL yeah,problem is Andreas I cannot charge anyone for something I enjoy.
The guys who fetched frags from me will tell u, I refuse to sell a single piece.

Sound like a new tank Mek ;).
Yeah hardware is another topic.
 
David - you are now calculating things that you purchase ALL IN ONE TIME.....

I have probably already spent that JUST the last two or three months to get some LIFE back into my tank ;)

BUT - no - I do not spend THAT much on additives on my tank. BUT - as every one said - THAT is most likely the cost of having such an AWESOME TANK as you have! In the end - it's worth it....
 
I will be buying Kalk from Dischem - R 6.00 ;)

I was gonna say u joking but I am pretty sure u not.What type of kalk is this?

Thanks Jacques ,I still have to get the life back into my tank,planning to get a black tang and a chevron soon.

Standard Calcium Hydroxide, BP grade. Been using it for ages.

Seriously, I want to change all my T5's, which should set me back R 2,500.00 :whistling:
