I run my temps lower (around 76), my heater barely ever kicks on even with my LED's, which do put out some heat still ;) So I still probably save more energy then u lol
 
What is this "winter" thing you speak of? Is that the four weeks when temperatures drop below 80? :bounce:

If I were still in Michigan or upstate NY I wouldn't mind heat from MH, in fact I'd probably welcome it. I knew I arrived at the right place though when everything here was shut down due to a 1/4" of snow. All of you from snow bound states can start laughing now but it is true, folks here freak when it snows . . . even a little.

Ahhhhh but you've been running a chiller most of the year! Lol and I've never had to run a heater either. The temperature of my house dictates the temp of my tank.
 
+1 my in wall tank is in the garage. The halides help keep the tank and garage warm in the winter.

Summer I would need a chiller regardless of lighting.

Lol, they definitely do freak down here. I got a whole week off of school for that!
 
lol, nice.

I'm in socal but originally from Chicago so I don't turn on the heat or AC for nothin here. It's pretty much paradise to me.

Today is 85 and sunny. Time to go to the LFS. :tongue:
 
Wow! Long sleeves? Try the hars winters of indiana! Last year was squat, but 2 years ago my girfriend and i were on the news being interviewed about the blizzard, which we also were in new england for as well visiting my family. Want a good way to save money? Plumb ur tank into the snow and flash freeze your livestock. It will hibernate like a koi pond. At least thats the theory. I will let you know how it works.

Haha. Your "saving money" on heat. But paying $60+ per bulb on those MHs LOL.
