Howdy, Im no math major but i will take a crack at it. The Breakdown : (Big light) 600X12hours= 7400w (8 floro's) 8X40X18=5760w (inline duct fan) 125X24=3000w (12'in inline fans ) 50X2X24?=2400w (8in fan0 25X24?=600w (heating mat) 45X24=1080w So for one Day thats a total of : 20,240 watts used or 843.33 w /per hour Then convert watts to kw hours with this link http://mhi-inc.com/Converter/watt_calculator.htm that gives you 20.24 kwh. per day 20.24X0.63= $ 12.75 per day $ 12.75 X 25 or w/e your billing cyle is = $318.75 total month wow that seems kinda expensive, where im from the rate is only 0.10120 per kwh  correct me if im wrong

Close but off a decimal.

8x40x18 =5760w/day 125x24 =3000w/day 150x24 =3600w/day 45x24 =1080w/day Total watts used 20,640/day 20,640/1000 =20.64kwhs/day 20.64x.063= $1.30/day $1.30 x 31days = $40.30 per month

You had it. Just when you did the last part, kwhs x .63 (which would be 63cents instead of 6.3cents) should have been kwhs x .063.
I saw that original number you had without looking to see what was running and was like, holy shit whats that guy running!! But then I looked and realized what he was going to use and figured out the mistake. But you did have it, just misplaced a decimal
