guinty1 Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 I am not looking an exact figure, but does any of the fish keepers on here know what the electricity costs are roughly for a 190 litre tank (Juwel Trigon 190 Litre). Have googled this and have seen many answers from a couple of quid and month to a pound a day, so quite confusing. If you keep a tank of about the same size can you tell me how much the tank adds to your monthly bill. Thanks Guinty1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super sharp shooter Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) Defiantly not a pound a day. I doubt you would even notice a difference to your bill. 270ltr tank and I don't notice it on the bill.

Gee. Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) Mines a 350l and the cost is negligible. It has LED light bars, 2x 300W heaters, Circulation (wave maker) pump and Fluval FX6 filter. LED lights and quality filters have low power consumption. Stay away from cheap Chinese stuff if your worried about costs. Edited September 10, 2017 by Gee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonepark Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 If led with pump, and as long as it is cold water, 20w/hour, 175kwh/year, £27/yearish. If you are heated, £300/year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisdom Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Ours barely registers on the smart meter when the heater clicks on.Its not on for long tbh obviously more in the winter but still negligible.Powerhead runs all the time but we don't have an airpump ours is aerated by the powerhead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoozer Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 Never gave a thought to the cost of running my 180 Vision, Certainly never noticed an increase in leccy. Running 2 heaters as a redundancy measure and a Fluval FX6 which by the way is the best filter by far i have owned and i've tried a few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
