I do believe the reason I saw a difference was the size of the pump I am using. I think the tubulators were causing too much restriction to the flow/watts that the 1250 delivers. With a smaller pump the tubulators may work better. The Eheim 1250 has a total of 28 watts output, this heat was being absorbed by the water. With the faster moving water my temps dropped.
