hydor koralia heat question

[sazarac]

Hi all,
I'd like to add a hydor koralia #1 or #2 to my biocube 29 for some more circulation. However I am wondering how much heat it will add to my tank. Has anyone noticed an increase in heat using one? A chiller, no matter how much I'd like one, is not on the horizon anytime soon. MAYBE next year. Thanks.

No I have not noticed any difference in temperature since I have added mine. I maintain a constant 80* temp no matter what time of day it is. And I have an upgraded pump in my return chamber, and 2 submersed powerheads. One is the Korilia and the other is a MJ 30.

The cubes do seem to run hot. I replaced the stock pump, and while it has better power, it runs hotter. I'm hoping to add some fans, I have a feeling this summer is going to be smokin'. And not in a good way! Which size HK do you have? I added a MJ, but ripped it out because it was just too hideous! Thanks for the reply.
