Keep my Maristar MH or Spend 1k on LEDs??
I have a Maristar 48" with 2 MH 250s and 2 T5ho 96s. I love the light, but am concerned about power costs.
I am building my 90g and have a 16 inch tall enclosed canpoy. I want to use the MH light (prmarily because I dont have a grand to spend on LEDs) But I am afraid I will need to buy a chiller at $600 and have an additional 50-75 a month on my power bill. Anyone in AZ have thoughts on this? I used the Calulator to roughly estimate the power consumption, but I was hoping for some real life applications where people switched from a similar fixture with a chiller to LEDs without a chiller and saw a significant ruduction on power consumption. Any thoughts are much appreciated!! |
