Aquarium Advice Addict
Hi all,
Currently I am running a Mag7(main pump) and a Mag5(skimmer) in my wet dry. The area I have to put the pumps is just big enough for the two pumps. I noticed after running the skimmer pump for a few days that the water temp was higher than my other tank. It hovered at 82F.
From the box, the Mag7 can be ran externally but I am not sure if I should drill the acrylic wet/dry box or just run the hose over the side? I currently have the hose for the skimmer going over the side to the skimmer inlet.
Do you think I will run into problems with heat with the 2 pumps in there and if so, where do you get the bulk head fittings and such if I drill the sump box? I never can find anything at Home Depot and have had most luck at a smaller Ace Hardware store. At went to 2 home depots and a 1 pet store looking for 1" ID hose for the overflow drain. Everybody has 3/4"...
