Taking out the POS skimmer and replacing one of the circ pumps with an eheim cut my heat issues way down.

Ya, probably need 2. There's a controller here for 60 bucks, last I saw. However, if the heat isn't an issue, for the money, I'd maybe stay with the T5...

Well that is what im going to do with mine i have turned off the recirculating pump its a RED sea its a heat pig and my return is also a Red sea so I think that im getting heat issues from both being on.
