I am running dual 175 W MH on a 75 Gallon tank with 1 seio 620 and 1 MJ 900 powerheads for circulation and a mag 7 for return, and an ASM G1 skimmer in the sump with the standard pump. Yesterday my tank temp approached 90 with the lights on. Today my tank temp is around 86 with the lights off. The room temperature in the room with the tank is 76. Could one of my pumps or powerheads be causing the high tank temp?
I am currently blowing a desk fan onto the sump and I have the canopy propped open. I am purchasing another fan this afternoon to blow into the canopy. I would like to know if there are any reports on any of the equipement, other than the lights generating excess heat. I
have used most of this equpment for years, with the exception of the Seio Powerhead, with no problems but I had the tank in a basement that was always cooler than the rest of the house. I don't currently have a basement. Any suggestions for cooling other than a chiller?
Thanks in advance.
