What do you think your tank costs you in electric

[CaptainNewbie]

Just curious as to how much you think your tank and equipment adds to your electric bill a month:butt:

 

[Ziggy953]

For me it cost about $40 per month

20-30, as an educated guess. lights, pumps, powerheads, etc

around 10 bucks from the utilities, I got a solar panel that I use for small appliances that is mounted on the south peak of the house.

honestly.. my electric bill really didnt change much... if any at all... its regularly 200 a month.. and thats exactly what it was last month.. and ive added equipment since then lol.

I would die for that bill

Well then... I'll just make you feel worse and tell you that I average $140 a month for electricity. (Large 2-story house.) Granted... I have natural gas heat and no A/C. But I never really saw any increase in electricity cost with the tank. Obviously it did... but it wasn't really perceptible.

My bill did not change noticeably either

I float between 500-700 (gas/elec) depending on the season.

I wrote a spread sheet that will calculate the cost of running an aquarium.

Here's the link.
