Why dont they put a heat rating on all pumps, that would greatly help when choosing one. I have a 24 gal aquapod with he normal heat problems but I also have 2 maxi 1200 power heads that I am considering changing the standard return pump out to one of these after reading threads on the stock pump in aquapods generating more heat. Will have to wait and see if it makes a difference.

Heat may become a concern for my 30 cube when I add the skimmer with a mag 3 pump...

You cannot accurately estimate the temp increase in a tank. differences in true volume, salinty, ph, indirect and direct sunlight, ambient temp and other devices in the tank itself all add to the problem of trying to work it out. too many uncrontollable variables for manafacturers to take into account.
