Whats you wattage???

I'm bored so I got to thinking about my tank and realized how many watts I'm actually running. WOW it's alot and I only have a 75 and a 35.

Lights:
2x250w MH : 2x65w PC : 2x96W PC = 882W (8 hours a day)

Pumps:
1450 gph return 200w : 700gph skimmer 35w : 2x PH @ 30w = 295w

Heaters:
2x 300w = 600w

So if everything was running ar once I would be putting out 1777w WOW!! Thats almost 30 60w light bulbs!

Ever think about that??
I can't imagine what some LARGE systems are using.

I try very hard to minimise this to keep the power bills down,.. I ran the numbers a while back, I don't remember the exact wattage, but my 125 costs me about $50 per month in power, and the 50G softie tank costs about $20 per month to run. I pay 0.09 per KWH.
