i checked on the www and seems like that model submerged or external also ok. unless yours is a different model?
if its the same one i would like to buy
update on my tank: after alot of to-ing n fro-ing with the return pump, i finally put it in the sump. Now with the fan on i get 27.5C to 29C daily range. The fan brings down about -3C.
Thinking of putting in another fan??? n i wonder if the temp will go down any lower??? anyone 'maestro' out there tried this??
i find that theres very little data available on the amount of heat given out from a pump. i find that my eheim 1260 placed outside my tank still add +3C to the temp. now i try putting a 'cooling pack' on top of the pump to see if it helps
tks bros for all ur colorful reply. i intent to breed clowns, n i hope lower temp can also keep some corals, life rock, probably lobster or shrimp, clamp. i heard that electric bill goes up $50 when chiller is added, so i am trying to avoid this.
tks bro. my 1st return pump was a Hydro (inside the tank) and the temp +3C. now i use a Eheim1260 placed outsiside tank but still +3C; dont know if a new one would same. i hope to keep temp at 27-29C for fishes n some corals.
What external pumps do you use? and hows your temp?
when no pumps are on the temperature is 28C, when return motor eheim 1260 is on temp +3C to 31C; then when skimmer pump Resun is on +1C to 32C. a fan can bring temp down 2 to 3C. mine is a 3ft tank
Questions: do new pumps give out so much heat too (mine is a used one)?
: anyone experience pumps that dont add heat to the tank?
: any other means of temp control without chiller?
