How are all you guys running your Aqua Via's inline without frying your systems?
I did a test run of my inline setup for two hours and the pump got to 113F ( 45C ), the water got to 110F ( 43.3C ), and the tygon tubing turned color from clear to yellow. It's so hot that I had to snatch my hand away after touching the pump and tubing.
But I really can't afford a reservoir in my case.
Dammit, I bought two and sealed them both, so now I can't return them.
Should I just suck it up like a man and shell out an extra $70 for an Eheim that's made to be run inline and doesn't get hot?
