I was trying to figure out how much reef lighting would cost me monthly. I'm looking at a 2x250W MH + 2 T5's setup, so the total wattage is 608W. Say I turn them on 8 hours a day, 30 days a month:
608W x 8 x 30 = 145920W
145920W x 1kW/1000W = 145.95kW
The electricity rate of Reliant Energy in Houston, Texas is .14/kW so
145.95kW x $.14/kW = $20.4
Am I doing anything wrong here? With that much wattage, it can't be $20.4/month, can it?
TIA!
