welll.....this month was $236, but our air is half broke so it is running all the time, and I live in an apartment. Running T5's, HOB filter, aqua c skimmer, and three powerheads.
I so gotta call the apartment manager and get the air fixed......

Inefficiently built 8 year old home with poorly installed zoned heating & air.
But comparing last June (pre-saltwater hobby) to June 2008 (125g, 90g, 29g-nano & 12g nano), that's a big difference. But then again, we also used the air quite a bit this June and had an extra person living here for 3 weeks. And June 2007 didn't get the heat that we had last month.

Oh, my 55 has 4x65w PCs, the 10g fw/frag have CFLs, and the 30g hex fw has a 15"florescent.

Mines always under a Ben. 1 BR apt in Marietta, built in 86, facing East, 2nd floor, air stays 80 in the day, 70 at night, but the apt is pretty stable given that it is regulated by the above and below tenants (I figure).
Tank previous was 34 gal solana with 150W Halide, interesting to see what the 140g with T5's brings next month..

My current bill is $212. I have 2 tanks one with 150w halide and one with a 70w halide and 72w of pcs. I also have a 1300g pond with tons of landscape lighting and a huge pump. I keep my house at 72-73deg.
A couple of years ago we installed a high efficiency air conditioner and I swear that it has payed for itself. I had $350+ power bills and didn't even have the tanks before we put in the AC

my bill this month came to $199.98. I have a 90 gallon. I run 2-250watt MH. and 2 96watt acentic. mag9.5 , and..blah blah, blah...I live downstairs in a stone duplex apt. I have noticed however that on my bill....the month of july is the highest rates for therms of the entire year. They charge more for therms this month than any other. AND it was the same last year as well.
My last bill was $191. The meter reader was around earlier this week so the new bill should be here anyday!
I've taken off my closed loop which has reduce my tank temps some this summer and I'm considering going with a T5 fixture hung from the ceiling to even fruther reduce the water temp and power consumption.

I'm still a bit shocked that my last bill was only $227.
5000sq ft house built in 1987 with 43 windows throughout (single pane!). I do keep the house at 78-80, despite my wife's complaining about being too hot. 2x1000w lights, 2 sequence pumps, chiller.
Edit- I should note that I had a gas bill this winter that was $600... I found a vent just open in the attic, so hopefully this winter will be a little more tolerable...

And now we know global warming is caused by Mojo, someone call AwlGore and let him know we found the source!
My last Bill was $180. House is a couple years old. Around 4k Sq ft. We are very energy conscious and keep the AC,lights,etc at a minimum. My tanks that are running area 125 ,60 and a 24 Nano. Hopefully the new tank doesn't double the bill .
So their is 3 people with over $700???? Not good.

As I stated earlier... Mine was $125 For May... I have not received June's yet. I have two tanks running a total of 2 175W Halides (on for 9 hours), 2 48" T-5s and 4 36" T-5s on for 12 hours, A mag 18 always on, A Mag 5 always on, 2 Cap 2600's always on, 1 Korillia 4 always on. My home is pretty much an average of 77 degrees. I do not feel like my AC units are performing great but I am too cheap to get them serviced.
