That would depend on the size of the tank. So I am guessing that having a 30 gallon with 2 seahorses would definitely be cheaper to do water changes. I have a 56 gallon with 3 ponies, I used IO reef crystals and spend about $50 a month. Of course the bigger the tank with a bigger herd is going to be bigger water changes.
Somewhere the triton method is going to be cheaper. For me no amount of savings is worth risking the seahorses so I will be sticking with a method that I know will keep my ponies healthy, which is water changes and tank husbandry.
