Water Bill, LOL

[peterhql]

Just wondering what some of your water bills are like.

Not complaining or anything, my 3 month water bill went from 30 dollars to 110 dollars since keeping discus. I'm sure someone's bill is gonna sound insane to me.

I'm waiting to see. Our bill has been $5 a month. And I'm curious to see how much it'll go up.

[rickztahone]

all i know is that our last bill (both electricity and water) was a hair short of $600 (2 month basis)

Since keeping discus my water bill has almost doubled....

[GoingDiscus]

My water bill , well I have a well lol BUT the light bill went thru the roof lol, I guess them heaters and running the pump are the culprits..

[Darrell Ward]

I have a well! :p

[peterhql]

Hey Hans,

My charge was for about 19000 gallons... if you go through 3500 a day.... guestimate your 3 month bill is 1700 dollars! Hey... not as bad as you'd think as first... what did you tell me you had? 3000 discus? or was that 3000 square feet lol.

Water bill is nothing compare to my Electricity Bill ... It's insane out here in Los Angeles ...

Well, I guess we all need to take less shower/bath .. to make up the cost .. HaHa .. tell that to my wife ... :-)

With such large volumes it would probably make more sense to recycle the water through a filter system and back through a RO unit.

We are on a well system so no charge for the water accept for the electricity to pump it.

$90 a month, change 435 gallons every day and I do it in about 1 hour.

I calculate that to be 156,600 gallons per year at a cost of $1080 and 365 man hours. That's a lot of water and work. :D

Welcome to the club ! ! !

Water here in San Diego for me is around $70.

My electric bill is another thing . . .:argue:

~AKA~

[KV_Discus]

I live in Brooklyn Park, MN and my bill always around $170 to $200 for 3 months. Electric bill around $170 per month.

[jaykne]

I am changing out about 150gals, thats sence I cut back to 50% water changes a day, and my water bill is over $100 a month.

Ah....I'd do more, if I had more tanks and love every minute of it! ;)

Denver water is extremely inexpensive. I change ~150 gal/day, which costs less tha $18/month even in the summer, when our usage exceeds 11,000 gal/month. In the winter, when we're not watering the yard, it's ~$9/month. I'm figuring the fish water as the most expensive water-

Electricity is another matter entirely, but I'm not sure much of it is due to the fish, because my wife & sons seem to think that every light and electronic device in the house needs to be on at all times...

Trust me Jhhnn, its the same at my house. If everything isn't on, the power must be out. :o

It won't happen when your electric bill is $500+ a month .. :(

[akumastew]

I live in Brooklyn Park, MN and my bill always around $170 to $200 for 3 months. Electric bill around $170 per month.

I also live in Brooklyn Park, MN.

I use ~125 gallons per day. And still manage to stay under the first 40,000 gallons for $15 thing.

How many gallons per day are you doing?

The sign of a true discus lover.....:D

I seem to have the same problem. It seems I'm always walking around and turning off lights. Natural Gas and Water are cheap but electricity is not.

Great to know someone close by me. Well, I have 2-120g, 1-125g, 4-40g, 3-30g, 2-29g, 4-75g, and 1-20g. I usually do 50% per day for all the adult and 75% to 100% per day for the Juveniles and Fry.

I paid even more when I still kept and bred flowerhorns.

[JaredP]

Got my first one in after a month of discus keeping, went from from $15 to $27, not bad at all, lol
