What is Your utility bill?
 
I have EasyMax and mine is on average around 500 per month. Probably jump 150-200 more per month since i am having the 155 tank. Now i hate looking at my utility bill.

What is yours?

I get my bill electronically. This way I can set up a spam filter and have it go straight into the appropriate email folder upon arrival.. Then that folder gets purged every so often to make room for more junk email.

Mine is approx $300-$400 per month, that is my house and aquarium.

So i am cutting down my MH time from 7 hours to 6 hours. And probably changes out all max jets with one rio 2100. Hopefully i can save some KWatts

RO water alone is probably half the bill :cry:

my grow lights only run 6 hours and the corals seem fine. I'm also thinking of getting those new koralias that run 6 watts for 1400gph!!

Thios isn't just Power bill's is it??? You must be including all, heat, power, water? My power alone is only about $150-300/month. Depending how much I powdercoat. I havnt looked at a gas bill in a lonmg time though, The Mrs takes care of the bills now.

About $200 a month with 4 tanks running(570g). When we had 17 tanks(1200g), it was about $300.

Now you bring this up. I was always wondering so for a 98% rejection rate. If I am collecting 120 gallon of good water per month. Does that mean i waste 6000 gallon of water(well i tried to use some for watering plant)


Hahah good idea Kien, if you are getting those new Koralias, sell me your Tunze 6105s ok? :wink:

my $500 includes gas/water/electricity and I only have one 155 tank going. Before, it was a little bit under $300 without the tank
