My monthly bills are just shy of $400 a month right now. Most of my equipment was bought new with the exception of the return pump.
Chatting tonight about downsizing to one tank and combining the 2 I have.

Yah when you work it out over a period of year it really starts to add up, but 200/month for a 180 - do you know what the draw of your return pump is supposed to be? One of the things that shocked me when I started using the meter on my tank equipment was how much more power certain things were drawing that was advertised. My Deltec SC2560 skimmer is drawing more than double what it's spec sheet said it was supposed to.
