I am sure this has been doen before, but all the ones I found on energy usage had to do with $$ per month. The real question is who many watts per day or per month.
How about laying that out for comparison with tanks size included.
In my case, a 225 just getting going:
65w return x 24 hrs
45w skimmer x 24 hrs
75w internal flow x 24 hrs
108w T5 x 12 hrs
108w T5 x 10 hrs
500w MH x 6 hrs
Total 9816 watts or 9.8 kw per day
