Does anyone use either or both of these for their reef tank, either as a backup or main source of power? Have plenty of both in Oklahoma. With led's and dc pumps I'm considering it though probably not financially sound, I feel bad about all the water I've dumped down the drain from rodi really should get a holding tank to water the garden with. Maybe I'm just having a hippy moment, but imagine when I quit procrastinating still gonna try one, or the other, or both I can't decide. What do yall think?

Run the ROI (return on investment) numbers and see what you get..
Thats the only way to judge solar/wind power investments..

A dirty cheap solar setup may cost you $200 and only get you something like 100W of usable power.. That can run a pump but thats going to take a lot of years of energy savings to make up that investment cost..
