holy shit! i run 2-600 watters and 2 4x4 t5 banks as well as a/c, a bunch of fans, a dehumidifier and all of my hydro shit and my bill went up $100 a month,

have you factored in the cost of gasoline to run a generator as well as the noise factor. A decent generator (I work construction) will run all day on 5 gallons of gas, I think for 24 hours, you will use 10 gallons. @$3 a gallon, that is $30 a day or, 900 a month.
