I know there has been some posts in the past about reducing energy consumption, but I'm looking for members opinions. I'm in the process of setting up a 120 gallon Fowlr tank, with some sps and moderate bioload. Living on Long Island and paying LIPA .21 cents an fnn kilowatt is killing me. I need to bring down my tanks operating costs.
Current set up
tek t5 lights 8 bulbs. 4 actinics and 4 daylight.
1 Tunze 6045
1 Hydor #4
1 Sei 800 power head
300 watt heater
gen pc40 return pump
Mag 3 - Remora Pro HoB skimmer
Question, where do I squeeze out some savings
- adding another tunze 6045 and killing the seio 800
- adding tunze 9010 skimmer 21 watts and removing the remora and mag3
- Return pump, Don't think I need pressure , since its just tanking water from my refugium and sending back up.
- trim lighting time?
Thanks for everyone's opinion. Damn this hobby is killing me :dead1:
