Mp10s Getting warm?

[KrisDeitz]

I have 3 Mp10s on my 120. All working fine and this is the first time ive had them all cranked 100%

They are pretty warm. Is this normal??

Mine gets a little toasty from time to time not sure if its normal or not as I purchased mine second hand

Mine always got a bit warm. Shouldn't be anything to worry about.

My MP10 gets very warm sometimes. Not so hot that I can't grab it, but very warm. I run mine on lagoon mode up to 100%

Totally normal. The heat is left outside of the tank. Part of the reason we've spent the extra $$$ on vortech's.

Normal. Thing is the heat is staying on the outside and venting to the air instead of being transferred to the water.
