Thank you!

So far, I have 30-40 breeders (~151 liter), 6-75 gallon (~285 liter), 1-90 gallon (~340 liter), and 4-~50 gallon (~189 liter) tanks set up. I still have more I need to move after I make some stands.

Take care,
Chuck

Chuck,
Just out of curiosity, what does the water bill look like? Off the top of my head I am calculating just under 4,000 gallons a month for water changes.

I am on a well so no "water bill". But my electric bill is way up there. Right now, I have both fish rooms running as far as air pumps and dehumidifiers ect. I was changing ~ 150gallons of water a day.... taking off a day every so often so you are right there with the estimate. The new fish room I tend to change even more water, but I have not calculated it yet.... figured I wait till I am done before I did. Electric bill last month $572........

I should add that my water usage is actually higher than what I said it was...... I use a RO filter and mix RO and tap to get what I want. So ~75 gallons of RO water and same for tap water a day. Not sure how many gallons of water I use to make a gallon of RO.

Take care,
Chuck
