So, here's my problem maybe someone knows what I can do to fix or change something...
I have an 180g that came with a diy like filter, it works fine but I wanted more filteration so I bought the Eheim professional II and ever since then I have had a hard time keeping the temp down. I have two Jager 250W heaters in the tank but since my heat is up one is unplugged and the other is never on(at least that I've seen) I also have a underwater light in the tank with a Power-glo T8 40W bulb in it(but the bulb was in 2 weeks before the heating problem started.
When this first happened I unplugged everything but the two filtration systems and the lighting. The temp was around 84 and it did seem to cool down a little and return to 81 but now the temp is back up to 84. Now I keep Piranhas so the temp shouldn't be that much of a problem but still I would like for my temp to be where I want it to be.
Does anyone have any advice for me or had something similar happen to them, if so what did you do?
