welcome to PUB fan club.

Reefing definitely will generate more revenue for PUB in their FUTURE Projects and make a hole in our pocket. :D:D:D

I am just an average FR (fish reefing) writer. If you like my FRs, please upz my points.

I'm using CL450. So far my bill increase abt 10bucks. Planning to get a 150W MH. Mine is a 3x2x2ft.

Need to check with u, how much $$ if running 1x150W? Thanks!

Assuming u turn on the 1X150W Mh for 8Hr a day

150 X 8 = 1200W

1 mth take 30days

1200 X 30 = 36KW.

Look at ur bill, every KW is 0.16++ cents.

36KW is 36 x 0.16 = $5.76 /mth

So $5.76 for a 150MH (8hr/day) for a mth.

Not sure if this calculation is the right method.

Others pls advise.

Tank 4x2x2.5

should you ditch the chiller idea, you are only saving $10-20 of bills.

But if you run a chiller, health of the tank worths more than the little saving here.

total agreed ...... :lol::rolleyes::D
