Default best time to run pumps?

We would like to cut back on the electric bill. We have a total of 5 pumps
and usually run 3 of them, 2 go to the water falls and 1 goes though the UV
and over lower rocks, and 2 more are used to add extra flow and sound only
on special gatherings, we are thinking we could maybe run the waterfall
pumps only a few hours rather than 24/7. What do you think? What time of
day would be more beneficial during to have on and running daylight or over
night?
Have about a 1200gal system and fish and plants. We are in Colorado.
Starting to see some growth from the plants we over wintered in the pond,
and fish are starting to come out also. Did lose one of our big Koi.
Well thanks for any info.
