Wet/dry question

[Airjammer]

I set up the wet/dry that I bought at the auction on my 1SA, with a 650 gph submersible pump, my problem is that it has raised my tank temp to 89 deg without a heater. Is this normal?

[eklikewhoa]

yes, pumps and other equipment produce heat depending on how efficient they are.

WOW 89!!!!!!????? thats really high.. what pump do you have? my mag18 doesnt even drive the temp up that high but it does heat the temp a bit

[Airjammer]

It is an industrial sub pump. I expected some temp increase, just not that much!

[eklikewhoa]

all depends on how the rest of your tank is set up, room temp, etc.

x2 what kind of thermometer are you getting this number off of? what was the temp before the pump?

[Airjammer]

Room temp is 76 deg . Temp is taken using a fluke digital laser temp gun.

[Airjammer]

What do you mean by setup Q ?

[Airjammer]

Original temp was about 79 deg

[myjohnson]

89 is real high playa.

You need an eheim.

[Airjammer]

What I need is a Mag 9.5, but none of you hoarders will una$$ one! LOL!

[cu0ngsayz]

i have a 9.5 but idk if i want it to leave my hands lol it makes WC so much faster LOL

what Q meant by tank setup is: the tank open top? glass top? MH lighting? canopy? LED lighting? T5 lighting? how close off the water is the light? what do you have INSIDE the tank? ETC.

[Airjammer]

Glass under standard t8 lights, no canopy, gravel and driftwood decor, Rena xp3, and ac 110 for filtration along with the new wet dry. Ceiling fan near the tank...... I can't think of anything else. I could trade you this pump, and some cash....

[cu0ngsayz]

touch the water in the sump see if it really that hot. i dont really trust just one meter. i have like 3 thermometer in my tank one thats built in to my heater then another digital one and a floating one lol

[eklikewhoa]

Try testing the fluke, I honestly wouldn't question it but you never know.

I trust raytech more when it comes to laser/infrared temp but fluke is a strong name as well.
