    Default Just got My hydro bill! Yay!

    For the first time in YEARS I am pleased with it! We took down the big saltwater tank about 2 months ago now (Our bill comes every 2 months) and all I can say is wow... I knew that thing cost a lot in electricity but the reality is a lot more than we were guesstimating!

    I miss the tank a lot, but a lot less now that I have seen that!

    Does it really make a difference Anthony I really don't want to know or there may be a huge shut down sale haha

    Although I pretty well phased out my MH but ready to get back into it again.

    It is actually quite simple to figure out. You hydro charge is by KW-Hr. The rate is on the bill. Figure out the KW you are using x the hours you are using x the rate and you will get the cost per day.

    That is the very reason I took down two tanks last week. Hydro has been way too much for way too long

    Well.. Taking down the tank may not have been as big as difference maker as you might think Keri.. We had an exceptionally nice last 2 months you were billed for. so power usage might be down a fair bit because of that .. the next two month bill might be more indicative of the difference than the first one after taking it down .

    I know, that's supposedly true but it has felt Cold here (north facing house in the shadow of a valley) and I have had the heat cranked! I look forward to seeing what future bills say.

    Sure we do, and with 20+ individually heated reptile enclosures, 3 freshwater aquariums and bad circulation I really need it!

    Honestly, if I hadn't fallen out of love with saltwater I would have kept it, really, it's only money and you can't take it with you so if you love it, pay for it!
