You are a better and more patient man than I. As for the on-going costs being surprising-- that is true of anything, but it sounds like you have found a way to manage and minimize costs.

When asked why they were all fresh, pops always responded that salt was wayyyyy too much money. When I moved into my own place 2 years ago, I got a tank from a store going out of business 90 gallons with wood hood and stand for 125 cash! I looked into salt water for about 2.5 seconds. I couldn't even imagine paying 50 bucks for a fish! Have you had a meltdown yet where you lost the fish to disease or similar problem? If you did would you continue the salt? I Love this stuff btw, I have about 10 or 12 african cichlads (colorful but nothing compared to salt). Growing up my father and I had 2 175gallon, 1 90 gallon and 2 55 gallons.
