What are the extra costs?

A tank is a great way to have something that never gets old. You get the satisfaction of watching your fish grow up and thrive in their habitat, or even see new ones join them. But as with any aquarium, there are upkeep tasks and costs involved like checking on equipment daily (water levels and temperatures) to make sure everything’s working properly.

To keep your fish healthy and happy, you need to make sure that the water is clean. You will do this by wiping down exterior surfaces weekly with a cloth or paper towel and scraping off any algae from inside of glass each time before adding more plants (and changing it slightly if necessary). Plus, testing the pH, nitrate, ammonia, and nitrite monthly is mandatory.

If you are a professional fisherman and want to fill your tank with the fish you catch yourself, make sure you study what fish actually go along with each other, so you don’t risk having them fight, or even worse, eat each other.

Also, you will have to clean or even replace the filters, light bulbs, tubing, and filter intake periodically. If you are thinking of hiring a professional in order to maintain your aquarium in good condition you should budget around $3 per gallon.

Electric bills will skyrocket if you have a tank that’s able to store hundreds of gallons. For example, it could cost close to $30 per month for every 100 gallons.

It is important to consider stocking on fish, as time goes on because some may die.
