It's something I'd probably have to shoot an email off to Aqueon about in order to get a technically correct answer, but I suddenly got to thinking about these filters' underwater pump designs...
Because the pumps of the Aqueon QuietFlow power HOBs are submerged beneath the water -- and therefore don't need any priming upon startup unlike other HOBs like the AquaClears -- is there any chance that the heat coming off the motor can "warm up" the water temperature to dangerous levels given the fact I am keeping goldfish which require colder temperatures? Is this even a concern?
