Everything About Tropical Fish Tanks and Saltwater Aquariums
I have a question about water bill and fish tanks?
Filed under: Uncategorized

I have two 10 gallon fish tanks.
Can you give me a estimate on how much money my water bill will go up if too, if I do water changes every week on two 10 gallon tank. Thanks

You should be using about 4 or 5 gallons of water per week.

Less than a good long shower.

Dont worry about your water bill.

    Pennies. We just fill up a 16,000 gallon pond and it was less than $15.00.

    It is extremely minimal. I have a 55gal, 29 gal, and 20 gal. My water bill here in Tampa,FL went up only about $15 for all of these tanks. So unless you're on a nickel and dime budget it is nothing to sweat!!!!!!!!!!

    Enjoy your fish, and congrats on the first step of keeping them happy and healthy!

    Your best source of information for this would be your water bill, since water rates will vary depending upon where you live.

    Since you will probably only be doing 25% water changes (2.5 gallons/week on each tank), check what your water company charges per gallon, and figure 5-6 gallons per week(some extra included for rinsing algae scrubbers, etc.), or 20-30 gallons per month.

    Not much. Since you will not be changing ALL OF THE WATER in your tank (changing all of it is a bad idea…you know this, right?). You will probably siphon off about 1/4 or 25% of your water every week. That will come up to 2 1/2 gallons per tank, or a total of 5 gallons for your two tanks.

    Five gallons per week will add up to 20 gallons per month. How much your water utilities will charge you per gallon is the estimated amount your water bill will go up.
