    How much is your guys electricity bill o.o.. with all the time spent in the tank, as you gaze over what you've accomplished you forget the stress or worriness on what's going outside (bills, recession, gas price, jobs) but what's going inside the tank.

    I used to save all my receipts but never sit and added them up. I would probably faint to see how much I have spent. My electric bill did go down about $225 on average when I shut the tank down. Summer months would be a lot more due to chillers running all the time.

    The view of the tank was well worth it...... :)
