I've been having temperature issues that I'm having a hard time trying to correct.
I have a 90 gallon saltwater DT with a 30 gallon sump. I recently purchased two eheim 200 watt heaters that i put on my sump to replace the 250 W i had on my DT since it was acting up and temperatures were fluctuating a lot.
Now I'm at the point where after recalibrating both heaters and reducing the heat in my apartment I still have a temperature of 82.2F in my DT (mid day all lights on) and i just unplugged both heaters from the sump to see what happens. All that's heating the water are the metal halides, T5's and a 6500K 25W lightbulb on my refugium.
Temperature 6 hours after lights off is 80 to 81
Temperature in my apartment is 75F and humidity is 49.
I turned off the heat in the apartment on my wall thermostat but it seems there is still heat coming through thus the room temp.
I'm in Canada just in case people ask why are my temperatures high.
Not sure what to do to have my temperature go down to 75 or 77.
Any ideas will be much appreciated.
Thanks
