Will you accept votes from people who's combined systems are >180g? Or are you specifically looking for costs associated with "one tank"?

Is that just electricity or does that include your water/sewer?

$300 as well just for the electricity portion, another $200 for the gas, water, sewer.
But we have alot of usage other than the tank.

I split my hydro & natural gas with the family upstairs & the combined hydro for Nov & Dec was $187 & my share worked out to $75 for two months or $37.50/month

That has remained relatively stable over the last 2.5 years, even though I've since upgraded to 4 x 250w MH, and 4 x 90w (Sedra9000 pumps).

My 210g reef uses 19.5 kw/day so $1.20/day in electricity or $36/month.

According to that calculation, my computer, tv, house lights, stove, fridge & other tanks cost me only $1.50/month in extra electricity. Wow, that's awesome.
