Hi everyone,
I am asking for some help. I like to run my saltwater tank at 78 degrees. I just installed two new maxi-jet 600's which push 160 gph. Last night the temp was almost up to 82, way to hot for my liking. I unpluged 1 powerhead and this morning it was still 80. I know that it is not my heaters because they don't even come on. (2 visitherms) I have a 46 gallon bowfront. Will these powerheads everntually break in and not produce heat? Any questions or comments would be much appreciated. Thank you

I am using a digital thermometer so I know it is accurate. I also know that some of you guys say 82 is ok, but I don't like my oxygen levels to get that low.
