Battling dinos at the minute. Put a 30w unit on a 150g / 600L tank and it’s running 1C hotter.
Sound normal?

I googled the same thing but it’s giving you the equivalent temp at 1C. Not what 1C (per unit) is in Fahrenheit.I'm a Fahrenheit guy but I just googled and it says 1 degree Celsius is equal to 33.8 Fahrenheit? If that is correct I say something is wrong and would double check your thermometer. I run a 50 Watt unit with a seperate internal pump on a system with a little over 200 gallon and haven't had any noticeable increase in temps after installing it months ago. I also run a smaller unit plumbed into the return on a system about 40 gallon total and no increase in temps there either.
Yes, a small increase is normal.I googled the same thing but it’s giving you the equivalent temp at 1C. Not what 1C (per unit) is in Fahrenheit.
My temp was 26C (78.8f) and it’s now 27C (80.6f).
Either the pump or the UV or both are warming the tank a little. It’s fine. Happy to leave the tank at the slightly higher temp.
