I have LED lights but I don't keep them on all day I turn it on in the morning and turn them off before leaving to work. And back on again in the evening longest time during evening is 3 hours. My electric bill went from $60 to now $100 -$115 a month.

We now have 2 55 gallon tanks and we see a difference in our electric bill. Have 2 Cascade filters does that use up a lot of juice? Would it make more sense to buy a different filter? If so what brand? And does people buy lightly used aquarium filters? Need your help do not want to get rid of...
