I'm expecting the police to knock on my door soon thinking I'm running a hydroponics pot house!
I guess I should sit down and calculate all the power all my tanks are sucking up!

AndyL, how did you calculate your power consumption? I recently dyed my hair blonde and I'm lost!

Thanks Mark, that's a really cool little calculator
After calculating, it's not as bad as I thought it would be although I only calculated the lighting on my 90 gallon. Just the lighting is $15.86 a month. Maybe tomorrow I'll take the time to calculate the whole shabang!
