Simple to who??

But ya, not a big savings over a year. I will concur that there may be a lot of reasons to change to LED, but saving money isn't one of them!

lol, well like I said it's elementary math so ideally simple to anyone who's completed that level of education and cares to remember it.

Wow, I'm shocked with the response, mostly of all the "get a new chiller" comments. I thought for sure most would recommend getting LED's. I do care about my hydro bills but I've got a Hot Tub, loads of aquariums and 4 kids so really I'm thinking switching to LED's would not change the bills much. I will have to think about this one. I do love how my tank look with the M/H lights. I'd hate to see bleaching or corals lost due to a change.

Thank you everyone for your comments.

I did switch over to LED for about a year, I had no issues with bleaching or losses from it. Just wasn't as happy with the look.

I'm suprised some thing going to halide is a downgrade simply because it's a old technology
