    Hmmm, let's see...

    Home:

    99% of my household bulbs are CF.

    A/C is only used in the room with my main tank, only when needed. Once last summer if I recall.

    New windows will be coming soon.

    Heat during the winter is kept at 62 during the night and 68 during the day.

    Anything that can be recycled, is. Glass, paper, plastics, etc.

    I use re-useable shopping bags instead of plastic.

    Purchase locally grown produce whenever possible.

    Fish:

    Main lighting is T-5s (Will switch to LED when I can) CF, T-12 and T-5s are used in the other tanks and breeding room.

    RO/DI waste water is used for the washer.

    Water for water changes is heated by placing the bucket in the sun when possible.

    Water from water changes is used for growing copepod and rotifer cultures.

    Low wattage pumps and powerheads.

    All tanks in the breeding room are covered to maintain temp and limit heater use as well as lowering evaporation.

    Oh, and I breed several species of marine fishes to help limit the impact of the hobby on the world's reefs.
