I am moving to Monterey in less than a month and operating on a time based model where mid day costs more than off hours and 2-7pm is peak expense. Honestly, I don't pay for power here as it's included in my rent, but maybe it's the same.

What I am thinking of doing is splitting the light cycle before and after peak and allowing the tank wider temperature ranges, and turn off some pumps during peak hours. Any issues with splitting the light cycle? And other ideas to conserve? I already use radions (LEDs).
