Strange issue that's been running for a long time that I can't justify, my tank has always been running warmer than I'd like.
Room has AC and temperature is always between 70F-72F.
Right now, the room is at 72F and the chiller is running for few hours a day to keep it at 79F.
Tank is a 150G with following :
1 Jebao dcp3500
55W UV (Dino coming on and off)
4x Jebao MOW16000 (1600lph) running at 80%
2x MP40 running in reefcrest at 80%
4x150w heater on 2 Inkbird controller // I've checked them not running by unplugging with no effect
Previously lit but 6 Hydra 26HD, now running Giesmann spectra with 4X50w led bar + 4x58W T5 and the Halide for 4H(I know they produce a lot of heat).
Now running without the halide for a week, I've seen no major change in the temperature, the AC is blowing right at the surface of the tank to prevent the chiller from heating the whole room.
Do you think the Pump + UV could be heating the tank that much?
