    A guy in our club is running 2 240gal tanks with all MH lighting and PLENTY of gadgets... Needless to say the energy company wants him to be classified as a commercial account!!

    You should wire up some solar panels so that on those bright and shining days, you can save a butt load of energy money. I know a guy who GETS PAID by the energy company here because of his solar panels.

    I use a Soleusair Heat Pump to help with the cool air I bring in the fish room in the winter and the heat in the summer. This little stand alone unit is pretty nice since it's a heat pump. Just one 6" line outside and that is all it takes. All the water is sprayed over the compressor and evaporated from the heat so there is no drain needed.
