I even let myself get into debt over it, which REALLY annoys my wife.

I figure the halides are about $10-15 per month per bulb. The pumps are, what I think, the biggest consumer of electricity. My hydro bill is around $200-250 per month but that's not just the tanks. Two many hobbies, too many hobbies, funny how everything consumes electricity to get anywhere. What I REALLY need is a greenhouse ... ow ... there goes $20 grand...

Expect to pay a lot, espescially when setting up. Definitely, don't do things the way I do them (patch this, band-aid that). Have a plan, and be sure about the plan, before starting anything. Otherwise you find yourself constantly spending $200 on this or that. I just bought a $200 pump. With what money, I don't know. But hey I -needed- that pump so I can have a sump return on my 72g, which, one day, maybe even in 2002, I might actually put water into it. AARRRGGHGH!!!!

Um .... what were we talking about again
