I think I'd rather not know. I'm running 4 250w mh and 3 300w heaters

If anyone else does it, I'd be interested to see the results

Those were old numbers I'll redo with new rates.

My bill averages 210.00 a month.

Chris - Are you talking your whole monthly bill or just the part that is the tanks and accessories?

 

[chrislorentz]

most everyone else runs 30 a monthly so I would say I about 180 is tanks.

I didn't realize we could rent meters from the library - very cool that they are making them available as such. If I had known that I might not have picked up my kilowatt.

My tank is currently running $31/month according to RC's calculator.

wow thats sweet

i dont know how much is just my three tanks but my bill is like 40$ a month for everything i use. I run my lights at night, so my lights come on about 5pm and go off about 1am or so. That way i dont need any other lights on at night in my apartment. And during the day i have natural light. I dont have a tv either just a computer which is usually constantly plugged in from 6pm - 2am. I have a refrigerator and thats about it, besides the occasional flip of the overhead light....
