Here is a list of equipment wattages on my tank and frag system. I have not found wattage consumption for my Deltec AP 902 skimmer pumps yet. 4 Tunze 6100 Streams 45 watts each = 180 watts 7 Maxi-Jet power heads 20 watts each = 140 watts 3 Mag 9.5 pumps 93 watts each = 279 watts 1 Blue Line return pmp 390 watts each = 390 watts 1 Blue Line skimmer feed 90 watts each = 90 watts 4 Ice-Cap 660 ballasts 440 watts each= 1,760 watts 2 Blueline MH Ballasts 250 watts each= 500 watts 2 Blueline MH Ballasts 400 watts each= 800 watts 2 Blueline MH Ballasts 175 watts each= 350 watts 3 Ice Cap fans 7.9 watts each= 23.7 watts Total watts= 4,512.7 watts 1 1/3 Aqua-logic chiller 7.2 amps = ? 1 1/2 Aqua-logic chiller 9.5 amps = ? Cannot find watt usage for chillers, and don't know how to convert amps to watts. I looked on Champion Lighting for specs. but no wattage rating that I could see. No heaters currently in winter I will add approx. 1,000- 1,500 more watts. I still have to add my UV sterilizer ,ozonizer, air pump, and Red Sea wave maker to the above list. I am going to bed now have to get up in a few hours for work.
Thanks Screwloose. How is your tank coming along? I imagine your power usage will be just about as much.
+1 on the Kill A Watt Electricity Load Meter and Monitor - great tool http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... _-82715001
