My refrigerator has a 500 watt compressor that runs about one fifth of the time. I am paying $0.13 per kilowatt hour.hen multiply that by 365 to get annual consumption. For example, I plugged my Kill A Watt meter into my Maytag 18.5 refrigerator and left it in for about 3 days. After 74 hours and 53 minutes the Kill A Watt meter registered 3.96 kwh. Hereâs how I determined the watts consumed by my refrigerator per year:
Thus, an effective way to clear a tank from ich is to remove all of the fish for a certain amount of time. At 80 degrees Fahrenheit, ich tomites will die at 2 days in the absence of fish, and just to be absolutely sure, some recommend keeping the tank empty of fish and at 80 degrees for 4 days (96 hours).
Keep a close eye on your fish and perform an immediate water change if they show any additional signs of stress (beyond what the Ich is already causing). How long? The salt bath should be maintained for approximately 10 days, or for at least 3 days after any visible signs of Ich can be detected.
