What is Your utility bill?

[kien]

RO water alone is probably half the bill

my grow lights only run 6 hours and the corals seem fine. I'm also thinking of getting those new koralias that run 6 watts for 1400gph!!

Thios isn't just Power bill's is it??? You must be including all, heat, power, water? My power alone is only about $150-300/month. Depending how much I powdercoat. I havnt looked at a gas bill in a lonmg time though, The Mrs takes care of the bills now.

About $200 a month with 4 tanks running(570g). When we had 17 tanks(1200g), it was about $300.

My utilities topped out at over $400 a couple months ago. Glad summer is coming...

My last bill was for 700$. I suspect my neighbour's have a grow op and are stealing my electricity. I only have 2 tanks and it's hard to believe they are responsible for that high a bill.

Another thing I'm looking into right now is one of those zero waste water kits from BWI plumbing. Can hook into your existing RO unit. I don't completely understand how they work tho.. Something about pumping the waste RO water back into the hot water tank or something. I make more water than my plants can consume :-(
