Need Advice: Electrical bill increasing due to heating tanks during winter

[brianp]

Here's the solution:

1. Reset your temp to 80F. That is warm enough for most fish.
2. Surrender to the laws of thermodynamics and pay your electric bill.

It should be right, because California at this time is very cold overnight and in the morning. So the heaters on all my tanks are always on. Like I said, in California, the more electricity a person uses, the rates going higher and it is not a flat rate per Kwh. If I take out the 60 gallon, that heater will not be there and also the other stuff running will not be there. It does not have any expensive lights. I guess a person has to live in California to notice the high electricity rates here.

I live in California and this sounds like a major exaggeration

Looks to me that all your tanks would've contributed to the increase in your bill.
