Hello all, new to group .

Have a Juwel Lido 200ltr, with 200w heater and Bioflow M filter, stocked with 10 Guppies and a Bristlenose. Been set up about 4 weeks.
Temperature was at a very stable 25c, give or take +\-0.5c over course of the day.
We added a Juwel surface skimmer to clear surface of water and get tank looking cleaner, but since then the temperature is sitting at 26.5c. There have been no other changes, could adding the skimmer have increased the temperature this much or is it just coincidental?
Thank you
 
It could be the room temperature has increased or the surface skimmer is circulating the water more effectively and the tank's temperature is now correct.
