My problem is this. I am living in tropical areas with ambient temperature between 24 to 33 C. Averaging 28-29. Now you put in 3 to 4 pumps in your SW setup and the temperature shot to 33 C ( keeping coral is out) even fish cant survive very long at this temp. Solution get a chiller (but what a paradox - you heat the tank then you cool it both using electricity!!). My question is why there are so many submersible pump in the market but I cant find the air cooled one. What is the life span of this pump as compare to submersible.( by the way i placed a 24 hr fan above the aquarium keeping the water temp at constant 28 C).What would the water temp be if all the pumps outside the tank? Anybody have done this experiment? Thanks.
