got SPS... Actually, if consumption is normal, I'm ok. I just need to figure out if my bill is abnormal. Dun want to pay the power company more money than it's necessary.

dude, baby more important la. We're just talking about a chiller for crying out loud! MH comes on only from 6:30pm through 10:30pm. I really think my chiller has problems. When it kicks in, it still stays on for 30 to 45 mins.

hi Peter, Thks for your input. Temperature current set for 26.5. It's a good suggestion to take daiy readings. Will do that. Should give me an indication. I thought with. Larger Hp unit, the chilling decreases, and therefore translates to a lower electrical consumption? Any bros who moved from 1/4hp chiller to a 1Hp chiller and regreted changing?

hi harlequin, I'm using 240 watt MH, 4 hours a day. My chiller runs for a long time every time it kicks in.

Jacky, that's true. My MH could be the culprit too. It comes on 4 hours a day. I didn't realize that was an increase in tariff! *doh*! all things being equal, I used to pay only $80 for electricity. Now, it's 208. More than $120 increase. Abit too high still, methinks. Any one can share how much your paying for electricity? Pls also include the sizeof your tank, chiller, and also if u r using MH. Thanks! Paul

Hi Reefers, I just got my electricity bill, and was quite shocked. Having started in October, my electricity consumption has steadily increased. My Tank Specs are: Main tank - 4 ft x 2.5 x 2.5 Sump - 3 ft x 2 x 2 Chiller - Arctica 1/4 Hp Consumption Stats: - Sep - 410 kWh - Oct - 385 kWh - Nov - 402 kWh* - Dec - 626 kWh - Jan - 548 kWh* (equivalent to S$150) - Feb - 919 kWh (equivalent to S$208) * - denotes estimated reading. From the chart, it looks like my chiller is the offending culprit. I don't have solid facts, but it can't be the pumps that caused such a significant increase. I've decided to change to a Mitsubishi Star Mex 1Hp Titanium coil chiller, which I'm pretty certain will bring down the consumption. Wondering if reefers can share their electrical consumption, or how much they are paying per month.... I'm particularly interested in fellow reefers with 4 feet tanks. But of course, this would benefit reefers with other tank sizes as well, so please feel free to share. Paul

hi Thomas, no worries. Everything works out for the best. thks for clarifying the cause.

Hi Bro Vtec, I managed to procure some sunflower frags today through some kind bros, n won't continue bidding. Thks for understanding. Upz for your auction!

Colour is super nice! Have seen the specimen. Up for you, bro Cedric!

Xie xie everyone!

I'm not amused. I elected to forego a trip to aquamarin just to make a bid for bro Vtec's zoas.

Hi Admins, Just wondering if there is any reason why 4 threads were closed? One of them was due for bidding closure at 2359, 20th Feb.

Anyone knows if Reborn is opened tonight as well?

Fantastic la!

Desi & Ketchup, Mind sharing your recipe? Very keen to make some of my own as well....

Jacky, Your new scape is very very nice! Happy CNY, by the way.

Bro, I like your scape very much. Lots of space for swimming. Beautiful!

Big gamble....... Price would be around $400 to $500?

Sure Jacky... Wait till he appear again. Ha ha ha... disappeared leow last night.

Thanks Kenny for the leopard! And also for the wonderful time admiring your tank!

I like your tank Lemon! Very pleasing to the eye!

A pair for close to 1k

Thanks bro! I'm heading to the office tomorrow.... damn! I hate working on Sundays. ..... but my office is near the farms, so will swing by LCK and pick up a piece.

Just tested the Nitrate levels int he tank today, and its gone down to 10ppm. The Sulphur Denitrator is working well! ts been about a month now. By extrapolation, next month's test should read 0ppm for Nitrate. Heh heh heh....

Any seen flame angels anywhere? LCK still got lame angels?
