electricity bill: 150 halide or 2 24watt t5's

So we were selling the 2 150watt reeflux 10k halides and keeping solely the 2 24watt high output setup. Now we are starting to think that maybe we should keep the 150 so we can still have an anemone or 2 or 3. Any opinions on just how much electricity we will save o

At the most, maybe 8 dollars a month. That is if you aren't over driving the bulbs andn running them 12 hours a day. So in reality, I would say about 6 dollars a month.
