Hi just wondering if anyone knows how much electricity my 30L biorb tank i dont use a heater as ive only got temperate fish pets at home says its a 12V usage tank and the pump is 2W
 
Check the power transformers…should tell you the Watt rating. Presumably there one for the light and one for the pump.
 
Sure. If all you use is the 2W pump: Price cap for a a kWh of energy right now is just less than 25p. A 2W pump ran for an hour would cost you 0.05p. 24hours is 1.2p. So worst case scenario £4.48 a year.

I assume you also have a light. Let me know what power it is (W) and how long you have it on for and I’ll tell you how much that costs you too.
