To lower the e-bill I:
1. Unplugged LV landscape lights $0
2. Change my 40W outside lights to 8W CF lights $20
3. Changed 80% of my lights to Costco's CF lights $100
4. Get power strip and turn off (unplug or switch off, not just shutdown) my computers, external hard drives, treadmill, fans & TVs. $50
5. Change to Tunze for flow in tank $800
6. Use gravity for sump and skimmer $10
7. Use fan instead of chiller $20
5. Get my wife to turn off all lights even if its for 2 seconds "After watching Myth Busters" to save on e-bill $Priceless

Simple solution..........................if your meter does not have a "lock ring" around it, take it out & flip it upside down..............it'll spin backwards. Just don't go too far or forget to turn it back before the meter reader comes.................
Unfortunately mine has a lock ring around it...............

475.53.. but that is 2 months and includes sewage and trash disposal and water..IIRC electric was $350 so $175/ month.. last year same time, the bill was $342.65, before I got my tank.. so $66.24 more a month or ~$2.00 a day. I have a 100 full reef with 250w MH X 2 and a JBJ 1/10th chiller

now 250 $
but i made measures to run the lights after 5 pm but transsisioning to start at 8pm, turnning off korelia 4 2x from peek hours 12-5pm as well as my uv sterilizer. unplugging all unused adapters and plugs....i will see what i saved in a month and a half.
