Epic Build, The 750 monster

I'd be out of the hobby asap if my bills were ever anywhere near that high.

We switched to that Enmax EasyMax thingy right when I powered up the new tank to lock in at a decent rate. I'm not really in charge of bills but my wife told me she barely saw any difference in our consumption since so it must be working in our favour.

I've had at least 1 tank running continuous for the last 32 years, might consider downsizing if the next bill is this high, we are a 1 income family and I am off recovering from elbow surgery for at least another month, family first and they just might be having Unicorn Tang sandwiches for lunch!

For those of you who don't know about the stupid meters in BC (I am visiting here right now, and just learned), they are called "Smart" meters. The basic concept is they charge you on a 2 tier system - they charge your more during YOUR INDIVIDUAL PEAK usage times, and less during your off times.

This is so pathetic, because even if you use the most energy at 2:00am (cheap energy for the company to produce), they will charge you at your peak rate.

I am so glad this isnt in Calgary...

Also, bills here are done on a 2 month cycle - but that is still $450 / month (not including water, garbage, sewer, recycling).... shiiieettt!!!!!!!!

I hope you keep this bad boy going - not to often you see people with kahunas big enough to pull it off!

Good luck!

I still love it, but no matter what I do to it now it will never be what it once was, kinda depressing to see it without the big angels, fish of that quality and size are nearly impossible to find. I considered switching it to fresh water and getting some nice large koi or something but im just not seeing it.
