I finally got my 675 set up and its been running great for a few months. I have an Ultima II 4000 for the filtration and a reeflo Hammerhead as the return pump. With head loss, I'm seeing about 4,000 GPH.
All has been going well, but the pump is really hot to the touch. Hot enough that my water temp has increased from 78 to 81 in 2 days. I've been doing water changes to lower the temperature, but the temp goes back up in a day or so.
The room is about 75 degrees and the tank has lids, so the room humidity is normal.
I assume the heat is being caused by the pump. Could it be from something growing in the Ultima? Does anyone else with reeflo pumps see this much temperature increase in their tanks?
