Water Temp

[kominato]

Hi , I am using a Dymax 3000 lit/hr immersed in my sump, no chiller for my fowlr n some inverts, some soft coral only, n water temp is 29C. Will it make any temp difference if I place my pump out of the water. For that matter which pump is known to run cool? Eheim, Sicce, Atman ? Thanks

of course, less heat will be directed to ur tank if u put ur pump out-sump

happy reefing.

at the same time it's heat up the water that pumped because pump is hot

BTW 29 is should be acceptable for Softies. Look @ Iwarna's tank most of the time 29 as well.

Recently I started a 2ft tank for a friend but will not be using chiller. Does anyone here use ice to lower the temp with good result?

I do agree with bros Law n Mismarine, looks like both ways also lose , haha, tried using ice blocks ( 12in by 4in by 3in) melts within 5 mins, did not seem to lower the temp. though. Is there any website that did a test on pump temperatures I wonder....Thanks for all the feedback though...
