Outrageous electricity bills - Calgary
What's the best way to minimize the Enmax bill? Do they offer any better rates?
Utilities this month were $400. Running: 3x250W MH Ice Cap 660 T5 Reeflo Barracuda Pump Magnum 8 powerhead Octo Skimmer 2 500W heaters Last edited by Jay180reef; 02-24-2009 at 07:49 PM.

Ahh, I found your thread, sorry to start a new one...I was just a bit shocked and my first instinct was to create a new thread.

I don't understand the need for 2 500W heaters... my large system is at a steady 80 degrees with 4 pumps (2 return and 2 for the octo skimmer) and 4 powerheads in the water. Doesn't really fluctuate with lights on or off either. Maybe consider taking them out and see if it makes a difference in temp and cost.
Just so we can compare, my bill was $369 with Enmax: 2 250W MH 6x39W T5 OceanRunner 6500 QuietOne 6000 LifeTech 5500 x2 3 Koralia 4 1 Vortech MP40W Last edited by phreezee; 02-24-2009 at 08:28 PM.
