Default Lighting cost (sorry other thread links just didnt work on my comp)

Can you guys do me a favor and just post up your electric bill costs?

Hopefully soon im going to set up a nice little grow room with three 400watt cmh's, a self made hydro system, and a petite air system, Can anyone give me a ball park estimate of the cost this might come to be?

Also something like a ballpark estimate of how much you payed before you grew, than how much after you started growing would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

If you do the math you can calculate it yourself, everything you need will be on your bill. The rest of the info will be on your lighting equipment. But if you need to know, my bill is around $60 a month.

$60 doesn't seems like a good deal. Would you mind describing the equipment you are using and how many watts your lighting system is? Thanks.

Between my op which is only cfls, several computers running 24/7, household normal daily usage, fishtanks(including the lights, pumps, filters and heaters), and heatpump. It adds up quick.

Sorry, I meant $60 seems like a pretty good deal. I was afraid having a few CFLs running 18hrs a day might more than double my monthly electric bill. Apparently that's not the case.
