    12 Gallon Aquapod running a little hot - suggestions for a newbie? =)

    i have noticed that on cool days, my temperature stays at a relatively ideal temperature range.. 80-81. so im not sure if its the pumps. i noticed that it gets pretty warm in my living room on warm days and on those days the temps range from 80 at night to 83 during the hottest parts of the day.
