dude unless u keep coldwater fish.. get a heater.. my setup with T5 lighting and 3 massive filters only cost around 5-6 bux a month
and a heater.. which is 250watts

Im not an expert on those fish but dont they need from 72-80 temp range. How do yo keep your tank heated??

its between 77-82, now its 81. Keep windows closed during winter time, and summer, it is always above 80.

i see, imma get 110 + my current filter, thanks

by the way, i still want to know how to calculate if the filter consumes 14watts, and 11 cents/kilow.

I think your parents are pulling your leg. Something else in the house has to raising the bill.

nope, i think the electrity bill went up, before was $40 a month, now its $60. He thinks that my fluval 3 filter(6.5w) is the cause.
I think one ac110 is not enough for 75g, i saw petco had two AC 110 hanging on a 55g, and the current was not as strong as my Fluval.

i don't use heater because electric...is too much, and i never turn on fluorescent light during the day, but at night for few hrs.
If i run AC110, how much will it cost every month?
it ranges from 11 cents to 15 cents per kilowatts. i dunno how to calculate this.

Edit: 14 watts means it only consumes 14 watts per an hour or?

At 15 cents per kilowatt hour.

14 watts is .014 kilowatts x 24 hours x 30 days = 10.08 kilo watts used per month x 15 cents = $1.51 a month to run

kilowatts (watts/1000) x hours per month (720 hours in 30 days) x cost per kilowatt hour
