Hey everyone. I have been slowly working on getting my 135 up and running. I bought the coralife Aqualight MH fixture. It has 3x250W HQI bulbs and 4x96W PC bulbs. Does anyone have a rough idea of how much my electrical bill will go up each month running these lights?
Here in So. Cal it would be about $100 bucks a month.

Depends on how long you have them on for. (TIMER)?
DWP FORMULA for ELECTRICAL COST.
1). AMPS x VOLTS (120) = WATTS
2). WATTS x HOURS = WATTS PER HOUR (ENERGY)
3). WATTS HOURS ÷ 1000 = KWH (KILOWATT HOURS)
4). 0.07288 (RATE) x KWH = COST
EXAMPLE:
250 watts x 8 hours = 2,000 (total watts per hour)
2000 watts ÷ 1,000 = 2 KWH
.07288 rate x 2 KWH = 0.14576
So your payin 14 cents every 8 hours of use on a 250 watt fixture.
0.14576 x 3 = 0.43727 . So your paying 43 cents for 8 hours.
HOPE THIS HELPS

I was actually thinking about this the other day. Respect on the information. Dont take offensively, your picture doesnt match your mathematical skills

None taken. Just feels good to shock the hell out of people.
You should see the reaction I get when I go to corporate meetings dressed in a t-shirt, shorts, and an L.A. fitted hat. As soon as I finish with my presentation or my speach, most old corporate white men are looking at me like I'm some type of cultural anomaly.
