A maintenance company upgraded my main display pump in my 90 gallon reef from a Mag 7 to Mag 9.5. He also installed a Aqua EV Protein Skimmer with a Mag 5. Now I am having temperatures ranges starting at 8l.5 with lights off going up to 86.4 with the 150 MH lights on. So far the corals and tank are o'k for now.
I am worried the high temperatures are coming from the pumps in the sump. Right now I have the cabinets open with a fan flowing against the sump and the AC window unit blowing in the room hoping to bring down the levels.
I upgraded the main pump because of dead areas but now am regretting it and now fear the protein skimmer is too much for the tank.
Any suggestions as to how you would solve the problem?
