Hi guys. This is my first grow. I received 8 plants that were already vegged and ready to flip to flower. So I've got them each in their own 5 gallon bucket. The problem is that the water is way too hot, like between 78-80F. The room temp is on the high side but tolerable, 77-82F. I realized that the water is getting so hot because my air pumps are getting hot and pumping hot air into the water. I'm using 2 80w 70/L pumps with large air stones, each one supplies 4 buckets.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to bring my water temp down, or pumps that don't run so hot?
Am I going overkill with the pumps, i.e. do I need ones that powerful?
