 Electric Bill?? Not that this plays too much of a big "decision maker" in my 75g reef build but I'm just curious....approximately how much do you guys think it cost to run one of these babies monthly? Seems like a lot of wattage and amps...  |

| depends on equipment used. Metal haylides use more power than flouresents, size of filters, sump or no sump, powerhead size and number?

| Re: Electric Bill?? Yikes I think my tank upped my bill 50 bucks and the chiller isnt even running yet. I have lots of equipment running about 1500 watts not sure on Amps for a 75 gallon tank. I love my reef though, HMMM reef or case a beer? Better off relaxing in front of the tank then the bar LOL! |
