    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.

    I've got a Kill-a-Watt meter that's really handy for measuring energy usage. Costs about $30.

    multiply amps by 120 to get wattage

    Thanks Screwloose. How is your tank coming along? I imagine your power usage will be just about as much.
