question about energy bill

[jasonk]

hi, i'm just wonderin how much it costs you guys in electricity to run your tank every month? i've never figured out how much for mine, but was just looking for an average. i run 2 t5's and 4 pc's for lights, not halides, so that should be a little less. anyone know? is there some kind of online calculator for it? thanks!

Geez, I hope not...cause then I would have to know...and then I would grow to resent my tanks. Cool avatar

this is what I get. Just a little under a 40 dollars a month. I dont know if that sounds right or not. I just did it on excel.

What was your bill BEFORE the extra cost of lighting. That will give us a good idea of what to expect. Thank you for going to all the trouble of doing the graph for us.

I actually haven't got it up and running yet. I'm still piecing everything together. So I'll let you know when its up and running. It will be what I showed.
That price is going to change to depending on the season. I think electricity prices go up in the summer and down in the winter.
