I would just keep the 300. Not really going to be a difference in power consumption. And it will keep you from spending money you don't have to.
You could setup a cold water tank.Liam;2002403; said:
Thanks for all the calculations Chompers and Fiaman. I'm going to go figure out my power comsuption and they probably sell my tank
I have a 300 watt heater that never runs. This tank is the first one I've used a wet/dry on and I had no idea how much the pump would heat the water. We'll see what happens in the winter months.
ugg, I'm eating up $32.23 a month if I did the calculations right. The sump pump is the killer at 265w, with a grand total of 296.76 kwh a month at 10.86 cents per kwh 
200-250 watts is plenty enough for a 75gallon tank. How cold does it get where you live? Keep tanks away from window draft will also save you a lot of energy due to water temperature fluctuating.

average is 18-24 degrees C
I could get a geophagus, they don't need heaters. or some Aussy natives I.E Bullrout, bass, gudgeons etc.
