I have gas heat and stove, CFLs in all the lights and don't even have a tv. Methinks I need to shave some power use off my tank.

thats not that bad considering the size of your tank...My last bill was 320, and I only have a 180 gal and its not even peak summer yet!

My record was $560! Two months in a row! I almost died. And I only had my 55 reef and 180 fish only. I used every electric calculator I could find and it didn't add up then my central ac unit went out and the next bill was only $250. It might not be your tanks causing the spike in your power bill.

LOL, I don't even have AC (the fish room does have it, but its just used as a fan), and its only a 1200 sq ft house. (I live in WA, we don't see 8o often.)

Methinks I'm going to be cutting back lights and things a bit..
