For me no, but your rates... I don't know the amount of kw your lights use (guessing 1000watts total?) but would $16 a month during peak make a difference in the summer? Actually less than that because you still pay off peak rates if you just shift the photoperiod.

I told my hubby no and he's ok with it. I have my dosers dial in at certain times and I don't want to reprogram again. Not worth the little $$ I'm saving. I spend more on corals and equips and other stuff

I completely understand where he's coming from though, I'm the same way, save where I can.

I completely get it as to why he brought it up, but the savings is not worth it at the end. Between the 2 tanks, I have 7 kessil a360x, 2 6ft Quanta reefcrest, 2 3 ft Quanta meso blue

So I figured out my total wattage. 384w for my 65g. 600w for my 180g. Total of 984w, and kessils ramp up/down and I don't run the 6' quanta that long. My avg water and electric bill for 3500sqft house with 2 girls is less than $300 a month. Summer a bit more because of the landscape

That fish frenzy looks absolutely epic. That one definitely made the list.

Pretty significant variance between your cosmic and mine:

The bigger cosmic is in about 400 par, the other that I think is one is in about 250/275.

The fish frenzy has colored up great, hers's a picture when we got it. I don't think SBB has any left though :(

Mine came in looking how it does, but also in 400 par. Im guessing since i have a chunkier/older piece yours should color like mine?

Thats awesome with the fish frenzy, i like seeing and posting pics cause it was hard for me to have an idea of what to expect when i was buying them.

I think yours is colored down, and should color up to what ours looks like. If I remember right, @billyocean has a great cosmic also! Picture @billyocean ?

It didnt say colored down on the description but it was a chunker for the price so maybe. I wouldnt be mad if it colors like yours.

Regardless, excellent shots man!

My colored down mango is throwing down base already, happy to report all my pieces seem extremely happy.

So some good news. Not going to have to move like I thought in May. Landlord offered to renew lease, albeit at a much higher rate. So definitely anything I buy extra outside of household stuff, I’ll have to definitely get OT. That’s the downside .
Did they rise it more than they should....look at renters rights for ma?

Rents been through the roof there for a long while, so even a $500 increase, is alot of someones expendable income but not alot in % of increase of rent. Most states dont offer that protection either.

Im sticking my boat in the water and going fishing at 6am, it will be a cool 70 degrees, may need a windbreaker. God bless you guys in the NE.
