sis, just now at my house you also see the number of reactors i have, they dont come cheap, and those light those heat, they will increase the electric bill by alot, my house bill went up around 90+ after getting the tank and i only have a few pumps and those are german pumps which use less power and release lesser heat. the media the food and the purchases to stock up the tank will be much more then your current tank. of course if you ever set up your tank, i will help out if you two require my help.
