I was starting to make an excel spreadsheet here to get a rough idea of complete cost of electrical consumption for my tank on an item by item basis so I could gauge the effects of making changes in hardware. For example, a switch from 250W to 175W MH. Then I thought anybody already have one?
BTW the savings (of course ONLY $$) in making the downgrade in my case was quite small. I was actually surprised to look at the numbers.
I have a kill-a-watt but am too scared to use it. But I bet feeding the info from the kill-a-watt into the spreadsheet would be good.
So if nobody has one, then I suppose in the near future perhaps we can use mine as a starting point.
