But to answer your question....350ish. Dunno how though....I have 300 watt VHO lighting...mag drive 9.5......rio 1700.......150 watt heater. With everything on...it runs around 350. I know because my UPS tells me so. :) If I leave just my magdrive on the UPS......I run around 50-60 watts. aka....4-6 hours battery back up if my power fails.

On my 125g freshwater the heater is 250w, light a mere 50w, and 3 canisters(70w) So 370 on full bore, but 250 is probably more realistic......
