Tank costs
 

So I sat down this morning and calculated the cost of running my tank per month. I suggest everyone do this, just to put you in a fun mood for the day!! :razz:

My costs are about $122/month, what's yours??

:eek: Gawd, I hope mine isn't that much. Personal I have not even thought of how to calculate this.. Is this in electricity alone?

No, electricity was only $40.00. This is everything. Carbon, RO membrane and filters, CO2, bulb replacement, etc.

You can figure out the electrical here

BC rates are 0.0577/KWh

For a second there you scared the crapola outta me :biggrin:

hmmm I think you have to much free time Brad, why depress your self like that.. look at it a different way.. I see your tank as a 50.00/month hobby with a annual membership fee of 900.00 :mrgreen:

Ackkkk, I dont want to know. :eek:

I would even have to add the extra $20 a month for high speed internet versus dial up, as the only reason I have it, is to surf the boards and post & download aquarium pics. :confused:

If you look at it like that, it's not too bad!! :cool:

Haha! Same here!

I try not to dwell on the costs. And I don't even have a RODI or Ca reactor. But nevertheless, it seems to be one thing or the other that I "desperately have to have" these days :rolleyes: :biggrin:
