| 28-02-2006 10:03 by telboy |
tony wot i think MH meant was the cost of keeping fish not the actual cost of fish and yes i do have a say in wot happens in my house but ask almost any married man and theyll tell ya who has the last say the missus every time!  |

Thats certainly the case in a peaceful house always let the misses think she has won its amazing how much stock you can buy for your tank without the misses noticing.
Gas and lecky £35 a month I think the lecky portion is £18 per month I'm classed as a heavy user! |

i used to pay £50 per month by standing order for the electric.. but that has just been put upto £70.. strange thing is that i have cut down the number of tanks..
i think it is an expensive hobby.. but well worth it.. |
| 28-02-2006 13:34 by zak |
p.s. they had something simillar for sale in lidls...afew weeks back ( much cheaper, seeing as we are discussing costing )..
i was going to get it.. but then thought whats the point? do i really need to know precisely how much electric is being used by my tanks... i would be interested to see how many people would give up their fish.. after buying such a pointless device.. |
| 28-02-2006 17:33 by michael hinson |
sorry to confuse some folk, missed the word "keeping" off the end of my reply,thanks telboy ,good job some people can read"outside the lines".and yes i have a say in my home but that doesn't nessesarily mean the wife likes it |
| 28-02-2006 17:39 by Linda Chenapa |
Maybe not, but it is not only for fish keeping. It can be used on any electrical item.  |
| 01-03-2006 14:34 by tony |

if were all going to worry about the cost of electric we might as well pack up the hobby . we have spent to much on the hobby to worry about the electric i agree with zak a pointless devise |

| 01-03-2006 17:19 by Linda Chenapa |
Never said you had to worry about how much you spend on electricity for your fish keeping, mine costs me between £20 and £25 a week. I have a key meter so I know exactly how much we spend.
We should all think about the unreplaceable resources that we are using up at an alarming rate. By turning down heaters and not having the tank lights on when you don't need to ( yes I know, certain types of set ups do have to have the lights on for a certain length of time) we can all do our bit, no matter how small, to save the resources for the future generations. |
