I just picked up a pair of Danner Mag-7 water pumps. I'm planning
on using them in parallel redundancy on a 180G tank I'm setting up. To test them I placed them in a 5 gallon bucket filled with water and turned them on overnight. The next morning, to my horror, when I placed my hand in the bucket to feel the water flow I just about got burned. The water was VERY hot, well over 100 degrees. Does this sound right? I know they're supposed to dissipate SOME heat into the water when used submerged. And I also know that the problem won't be so bad in a 180G tank compared to a 5G bucket. BUT THAT WATER WAS HOT! I'm starting to worry about poached fish. ADVthaAnksNCE |
