    Sounds logical to me....the SH nutrients and h202 combo seems to be working well so far. Its slowly clearing up the browness in the root of that one plant. I did drain and clean and steralize the tank twice then went back with regular ph'd water, then added 1/4 nuts strength and about 1/6...

    How to keep your reservoir cool

    Very true mjg132, but A- we are talking very small amounts of heat, very small, and B- dont really care that its a small heat source because in either instalation its NOT inside the tank like a submersed water pump is, so the heat is NOT warming the water in your tank.
