Mag 9.5 running hot
Despite a 70 to 72 degree home temp my tank is sitting at 81.6. I unplugged equipment one by one and I'm convinced it's the return pump.
Anyone else have this issue? Time to upgrade I suppose. |

Mags are known for raising water temps.
Metal Halide lighting will do the same.

Mags are good at pumping but they do so hot and they do so loud.

Swapped mine to an Eheim 1262 and have enjoyed the lack of heat. During the winter I should prob use it though lol.

I was aware of the heat. Switched to Sicce and have been very happy.
