So since it is now winter time here in ohio and pretty cold. The tank does not want to get above 78 degrees. It is a 75 gallon display with a 30 gallon or so sump. I have 2 250 watt heaters in the sump but I'm maybe thinking that with their current placement they are not getting enough flow around them to distribute the heat. I'll include a very bad picture to show what I have.
Now I dont run anything else in the sump but my skimmer, the two heaters, a 2 little phishes reactor and my return pump. I'm thinking about removing the first wall on the right side of the sump so instead of the water flowing over the top of the middle chamber it has to flow through it. The water would be exiting the middle chamber at the bottom instead maybe increasing the flow over the heaters. Does this seem like a logical solution or go back to the drawing board.
