monthly electric cost for a fish tank

[Garrett.turbo]

Ok so I was wondering if anyone could tell me how much it would cost to run a 150g tank using the following.oh we pay 5.9 cents a kwh.
eheim 2217-15watts
2-300watt heaters.

Both heaters probly won't be used because the roo during winter is kept at 80-90degrees. Thanks to the woodburner:/ I'm just trying to figure out about how much id have to pay my parents a month.

90 degree room may be any issue

yah I no i didnt mean to put 90 although sometimes its been that high. we try to stableize it at 80-85. which if it comes down to it I can turn the heaters all the way down or off and c how the room keeps it warm and just turn the heaters up at night cuz the fire goes out and it cools down. but I could get one of those cooling fans for it couldnt I? I want to put it my room but its upstairs and I dont no if itd be good to have 150g tank and a 55g tank in the same room on the top floor of the house.

You won't see much of an increas. I see more with the water with all the water changes.

The amount of time the heaters is on per day is the variable, won't be able to calculate an exact cost. But, just assuming the heaters are running non-stop all day, that's 615 total watts. At 5.9 cents per kwh, you're looking at $27/month

I figured it out. im going to give the $10.00 a month. my mom said thatd be fine

You're welcome. Parents are usually lenient if you offer them something reasonable.

yeah I had it all figured out and it came to about 7 bucks without the lights and a extra heater i figured $10 would be good

120$ a year, not bad.
