Like 300 for my grow room and tort room.
300 for the living space.

Solar might be a good thing idk it’s an investment.
Tabulating some of the wattage for example there’s an 800 W heater out for the goldfish 300 gallon stock tank that runs 24 seven that’s sucking some power & spinning the dials, I found that out yesterday … fish is co$ting electric …

I’m wondering what’s the best place to live in our country? Be nice to know.

I've lived in several places around the country and I feel I live in the best place for me. I love the seasons and everything else except the cost. It's a trade off I guess, no matter where you live.

Can you bring the fish inside and not have to run the heater so hard?

I have a 80 lbs Sulcata tortoise that lives inside for the winter. Has his own 650watt cmh and florescent uv desert bulbs 4 footers times 8.

I love it here for the same reasons that you do but it’s getting expensive in New York (I don’t know why I would think it would be any different anywhere else to be honest) The goldfish are impossible to bring indoors everything else is already indoors for the winter

I should have that goldfish stock tank insulated and sealed if I was to be real conservative about heat loss but to be honest they do go in the cold weather dormancy a bit I’m gonna try and maintain it at 60° I dial down the heater as much as possible plus it’s the oxygenation in the water which is more important than the actual temperature during the winter so I set up a fountain
