Tonynose188 said:Ok in my house I can't get my water below 81.1 is that a problem?
Convict2161 said:It won't be an issue IMO. But you can try keeping the rear door open or the lid open a little. Also are you running a heater/skimmer/power heads?
The skimmer will cause heat, the return pump also. Power heads will create heat as well. And then there's you stock lights, the power compacts. They all add to the heat issue.
This were all factors as to why I upgraded to LED's and switched over to the MP10, the MP10 dry side is where the motor is, the wet side it just the propeller.

Pufferlove said:I would wait a couple weeks after adding fish to change the filter pads you will have some nice BB growth then
Tonynose188 said:So the filter pads you can't just rise with some ro water and put back and the chemi pure throw away after 2-3 months?
Pufferlove said:It depends on the filter pad if it's an aquaclear filter you just wash the mechanical and replace the other stuff
