Eheim 2260

Does anyone have Eheim 2260/2262 and experienced that the filter raise the temperature of the water in your tank? I'm running my 2260 in my 125gal tank and water temp is 80-80.6 and our AC is set to 76-78 throughout the day/nite..i just set up my other 100gal tank next to it and the temp is 78.4 and it's run by eheim 2080...I even run my ceiling fan all nite and when i check in the morning the temp is still 80 somethin degrees..any thoughts or idea? tIA

NO I don't... BUT, I do know now that tank temps can creep up a degree or three depending on the operating temps of the pump being used. So that is normal.

if you need to you could make your own chiller with either a NEW Small heater core from a vehicle and purchase one or two 240mm computer fans and connect them to a small universal 120v transformer. The water will run through the heater core (Radiator) and the fans will blow cool air over them and heat dissipation will occur, chilling your water to the room temps. You might need to slow the flow a bit though or use a dedicated pump and return line as the longer the water is in the radiator, the more efficient the heat dissipation is. AND this will be Much cheap than buying a chiller and probably less expensive.

It's weird coz our hpuse temp is between 76 at nite and 77-78 during the day and the tank stays between 80-81degrees

Yeah, I'm sure that pump is producing a lot of heat. I like the DC line of Jebao Internal/ External Pumps. They produce very little heat. One of the JEbao pumps cold be placed "In line" on the output of your eheim filter and you'd just need to remove the impeller from you motor compartment to free up flow.

Helllo. i use most Eheim 2260 and 2262 ,  both they are use external pump so the temp would not much effect to your water tank.  i think somethings else in your tank would make your temp raise up. .

i wonder what it is then…like i mentioned before my house temp stays at 76-78 during the day and nite….so i really have no idea what makes the water temp goes up to 81 degrees…?

What kind of lighting do you have on the tank?
