New Tank

[james morrisontoxic2]

ive just upgraded to a big four foot long tank ,its two foot wide bye 2 foot depth,with double lights on the top ,the thing is the wife says it will cost a fortune to run the heater and pump are a big square thing built in together,and have like a garden hose like type hose pumping water in at one end ans water out ia the other end,i know im not describing this set up very well but my mate was going abroad and i got it with the cabinet for £100 all in ,can some one tell me if it will be expensive to run once its set up ,or is my wife just winding me up thanks

what are the wattage's of all pieces of equipment?

Once its set up, turn off everything else electric, then watch the dial go round, then times it by how much you pay per Watt (or kilowatt or whatever it is) then you will know how much it will cost you daily

Or get one of those readers you plug into the socket and then plug in your equipment into the reader.
Leave 24hours
And then times by price per whatever unit you pay.
