I know several people who run dehumidifiers in fish rooms.

keeps smell down

makes spending time in room more pleasant and for a non subjective...yes everyone this is me being objective

dry air is easier to heat than moist air so costs less....also running of dehumidifier along with lights and the like adds residual heat so dirty great big expensive inefficent heaters dont kick on and off quite so much but hey....why would YOU run one in your room?

Ditto I run a dehumidifier in my fishroom the air coming out of it is warm and it helps dry out all the little spills and stuff

My last bill was $236.07. This month it is $374.28

A record for me I think. I am paying for gas on top of the electricity too :roll:

My last one was $210 im flatting no heating 4 people. 400L tropical tank, 250L marine tank, 70L Tropical tank, 40L Live food tank. That is hi for us we usually are around $135ish

my winter is approx 380 to 400. summer was similar uninsulated. should go down i just insulated my garage lately.

works well!

Sounds a bit high even with the price increaeses.

Our last one was 210 or 185 after PP discount which isnt too bad considering its winter and we have a family of 4 but only 1 tank (120ltr tropical).

Ok this month was 270 and based on a read so average out with last months estimate we are looking at 240/month before PP dicount. Still think its pretty reasonable.

We are at $400 every month summer and winter. 8 tanks (600ltrs total)in a reasonably well insulated fishroom, no clothes dryer or dishwasher and wood fires for heat. 3 adults 2 kids.
