Solution...put your tank at your office and let the landlord pay for it! Double benefit is that you get to see it more than if it was at home!

Re: Electric Bills?
The rebate is over the course of several months (June-Oct) subtracted from your electric bill. I have 2 compressors so I get $400 total. It does take a few weeks for someone to come out to install the free device on your AC. I never had my AC turn off because of this device.

Re: Electric Bills?
I'm still trying to figure out how you ended up with a $600+ bill without a tank size of over 500 gallons. I have the SCE program but not the max program. This is because the A/C is set at 77 degrees 24/7 since I don't have a chiller. If you want to reconsider, I can help you redesign the tank to cost you $200 per month less per month. At least that is if your tank is really the problem.

Simon get a kilowatt at one of the hardware stores and start checking to see what is using so much electricity. You might me surprised to find thing like is your dryer running 3 times as long as it should because the vent has become clogged. Especially true in new houses with long dryer vents. It took me several attempts to get a vent brush that would go around the four 90 degree bends. You would not believe the stuff I got out of the vent, including fist size pieces of concrete. Our cloths dry in no time at all now.
We should start a thread for people to post the electrical usage of their various tank components. Such Brand X pump puts out 800 GPH and uses XX kilowatts an hour to run. If we could do it on a spread sheet some how then people would be able to spot a pump that was not performing as it should.

Simon I agree with Greg something is not right. My three tanks are costing about $150 a month lately. Greg I would be interested in any tricks you have. I have KillOwatt you can use for a bit if you want. Edison will do an evaluation for you too, but I found it pretty useless when I had one done for my business.

My bill was $711.00 and I'm still scratching my head trying to figure that one out. My 580g is still just a FOWLR so I never run my halides on that set-up. I have two pumps, a Gen-X 18000 and a Iwaki 100 on it. On my 225g reef I run my 3 X 250 MH's just 6 hours per day. Only two pumps on that as well, a Iwaki 40 and a Sedra 5000 for my skimmer. Like I said, I'm still scratching my head.

It's what it's
I have two 400 watt MH and two 160 watt VHO on my tank, 2 110 watt VHO on my 60 gallon, 4 VHO on my 75 gallon, 2 VHO on my 20 gallon QT. Pumps for skimmers, pumps for calcium reactors, PHs, etc. This still only gives me an electric bill of $140/month. Plus what I do is only run one of the MH on my main tank each day in the summer. One today, the other tomorrow and back and forth. I know you are in Cali and that is a big problem with the electric but if you alternate days for the MH you will see a big savings on your electric.
