I reciently finished setting up a new 65gRR FO tank. I had a Little Giant 4 MDQ-SC with 810 gph at 3' of head. This pump ran fine but the tank is in a office/TV room so I wanted something as quiet as possible. After searching the boards I purchased a new Custom SeaLife T1 pump. The pump is as stated "So Quiet youll hear nothing". The problem is ever since I changed the pump my temp wont go below 80. I have unpluged the heater in case there was a problem their, no luck, left the window open at night with tempatures in the 60's, still no luck temp at 80. When my lights go on I have to put a fan on the pump or the temp in the tank has climbed to 88. The pump is not overly hot (I can hold my hand on it). In fact it is cooler running than the Little Giant. Has anyone else had heating problems with this brand of pump? I was tossed between the CSL pump and the Quiet One but did not want to restrict the output like I had with the Little Giant.
