Hello I have a quick question I am trying to use your Tank Electrical Cost Analysis Calculator
my question on lighting I use the 180 W Maxpect Razor and am running the daylight channels at about 30% 5 hours and the actinic at 65% for 5 hours and ramp up and down from 1% to the 65%

Hi Antman,

You only use the full 180W if you run both channels are 100%. If you're daylight is at 30% and your actinic at 65%, then you'll be running at roughly 47% power (84W).
