Your PH was faulty.... Only thing to it.
Aslo, Doing a water change and taking a living thing from 100+ to 78. Bad, will do major harm.

Thats a pretty bold statement.
If it was a QT tank, more than likely it wasnt a 50+gallon tank which would explain your different experience. On a smaller scale, ya, they put off enough heat without close attention can easily overheat a small tank. I had the same experience that sumyungviet had when I was mixing water, and almost burnt my hand.It was that hot. With one pump in my 'ol 15g the temp stayed a consistant 80 degrees, id say ya they definately put off some heat; and can be lethal if not monitored. Sorry for a hard lesson learned
