How high should i expect my electric bill to go up?

Wasn't even thinking about this in the beginning but now I am nervous. I have a 15 gallon and just set up a 50 gallon. Am I gonna faint when I get my bill or be pleasantly surprised?

Well if it helps I have a 55g, a 20g, a 10g, and a 2.5g set up and soon a 40g and have heard nothing about it from the parents on the electric bill lol. And my parents are tight with their money soooo...

Total up your Watts (Heater, Filter, Light, air pump) check out the link below...

Of course it is an estimate but it should give you an idea.

You may not really see much of an increase if any. The lights. / heaters and filters are your main power consumers and the first two are not on constantly, and filters are relativly simple electric motors that are efficient. Keep your heater around 72-74F and light on timers and your all set.
