Alex,

I sent my wife to get a couple of them yesterday. I had to shut my MH off today because of temp. It was up to 85. When I get my new pump hooked up it should help a lot.

Another thing I would suggest that you take into consideration is that you are measuring your temp in the sump. The temp of the aerated water in the sump will probably be 1-2 degrees cooler than in the tank.

when are you gonna move the tank???

[Tim Marvin]

The temp should be the same throughout the entire system, otherwise you don't have enough flow.... In theory if you are surface skimming the water in the sump would be warmer because that water is being slightly heated by the lights. Anyway, if it measures different you need to up the flow through the sump.

I think i have enough flow through the sump. I dont know what hes talking about!!! I think we close on July 31.

[Tim Marvin]

Your temp measure the same right...?

[GaryP]

Tim,

I suggested he measure both the sump and the tank to confirm that they are the same. That's easy enough to do. You may be right.
