Oh wow that’s very interesting. So I turned off the uv steriliser and the pump that goes with it off yesterday and today I’ve seen the temperature come down to 26.8C. Seems to be stable there currently so I’ll keep monitoring it for a day or two. If it stays on that temp consistently it’s fine I guess.As @90's reefer says. Turn off the UV for a day or two and see if the temp lowers/stops climbing. Then, try turning off any other non essential devices for a similar time if the UV makes no difference.
I also have a 425XL running 2 x ReefLed 90's but with a TMC 4000 pump and BM Curve 5 skimmer. I have no UV or roller filter and I need two 300w heaters to maintain 25 deg C during colder months. Only during the recent heat wave in the UK has the temp ever risen above 25 on its own.
How close is the back of the cabinet to a wall, out of interest?Oh wow that’s very interesting.

It’s about 6 inches from the wallHow close is the back of the cabinet to a wall, out of interest?
I’ve touched all my equipment and nothing seems to actually feel hot under the water. Not sure why it’s still nearly at 27C whilst the room temp is around 20C todayThat is running very hot for no heater in 68 deg ambient temp. Touch your equipment and see what's hot.
