My monthly bills are just shy of $400 a month right now.  Most of my equipment was bought new with the exception of the return pump. 
 
Chatting tonight about downsizing to one tank and combining the 2 I have.

 That's pretty high for a 180 
I'm not entirely sure what my tank costs but we average around $200 total a month now and that's with fees. My tank is about 270 gallons with multiple pumps and such but I've always spent a little more up front for efficient equipment. I also have three additional fridges in the bar and a home office that gets used most days so realistically the tank should be less than $100 per month. One of these days I'll get around to measuring it but still working on cutting energy costs on it as it is.
