Hi there,
I have seen about a billion high temperature threads so far this summer so I apologize for adding another.
Here is my situation... 60 gal mbuna tank just added my second Marineland c-360 canister and a penguin powerhead. The two new impeller motors added to very hot summer days here in FL has caused my tank temp to peak up to 85 degrees.
Is this a cause for concern? What would you do?
Things I have thought of doing:
- Putting the powerhead on a timer so it isn't running all day long (not even sure how much that would actually help).
- Removing the powerhead altogether and adding spraybars to the c-360 outputs to do the surface agitation job that the powerhead has been doing.
