Does anyone know what our power rate is per KWh?

I believe a good estimate is about $0.06/KWH

Of course, it's the American Way. I definitely was not implying for him to buy it though. I was looking for a replacement bulb for the fish tank and saw it.

Probably already know this, but:
Watts x Hours used / 1000 = kwh
kwh * .07 = costs

Code: Select all

   	 Watts   Hours   Kwh   Costs/Day   Costs/Month 
Halides   750     10     7.5   0.45       13.5 
VHO       320     12    3.84   0.2304      6.912 
Pumps     120     24    2.88   0.1728      5.184 
Heater    300     1      0.3   0.018       0.54 

Total               $26.13 a month 
I left some other power eaters out, but I figure mine is somewhere close to $30-$35 a month
