I decided to look at my thermomter before heading out to work and realized my temperature was 90 degrees :shock: . I knew it felt warm when I was playing with it . I think I know who the culprits are though, my 6 submersible pumps I have running 24/7 along with my mag 350...and just to add, I haven't been running any lights at all yet while the tank cycles (only will be 80watt 50/50 bulbs total anyway) and the central air is on 24/7. I don't have any fish yet or corals so thank goodness.
Here are a list of pumps:
(2) Seio M820's for circulation
(1) Mag5 for skimmer
(1) Maxi jet to run Phosban reactor
(1) Rio (can't remember model #) 750gph return from sump
(1) JBJ to suck siphon from CPR and help distribute water over filter pad in sump
(1) Magnum 350 cannister
Here are a few of my suggestons. I was wondering what you'll thought about it and if you had any suggestions of your own.
(1) Change out the JBJ for an aqualifter (which I have been trying to order for ever).
(2) External pump for sump return. I can get my hands on a brand new little giant (quite one) pump, but I'm not sure how good they are. Anyone ever used one?
(3) If using a external pump for return, "T" off of it with a ball valve to run my phosban seeing it doesn't really need much flow at all and wouldn't loose much gph to the tank.(ie if the little maxi jet contributes to any heat at all)
(4) If need be alternate the 2 Seio's on timers either 1/2 a day each or just shut them down at night.
I can't go with many external pumps as space is an issue. Sorry for the long post, but any suggestions? And no, a chiller is not an option LOL. My wife will kill me plus I don't have the space anyway. Thanks.
