Electricity Costs of a Reef Tank

[Moneymaks24]

As u might have noticed if u live in NY, this month your ConEd bill has DOUBLED!

The reason is the stock market. The price went from 7cents /Kwh to 13cents/Kwh!

Anyway the cost of maintaining a 34 gallon tank is now $65/ Month. Or $800/year.

Happy reefing!

I wish we bought a co-op, where electricity is included as part of the maintenance.

Projects are pretty cheap as well , and Include electricity and concrete floors for a very big tank!

I live in a condo community, so the water is free. We keep getting newsletters about how we are using an unbelievable amount of water, that bills are $40,000 a month, urging us to check for leacky toilets, etc... My wife always looks at me and says that its my RODI

The OP titled the thread:

"Electricity Costs of a Reef Tank", not 'how much do you pay for your home electric?'. He stated how much his reef portion of the electric bill runs.

Thanks for bring this to our attention. I did notice over hundred more in my bill this last bill. I thought it was my wife for always leaving every light on in the house. I was saying how could this be with no AC running much in Sept. Now it makes sense. Thanks Moneymaks24 for heads up.....
