I need a diagram on wiring CSL PC ballast. The power isn't the problem (1 black, 1 white wire). I have 2 red and 1 yellow I need to hook up to a 4 pin german style(pins in a row) with no endcap. I have a hood that I bought off ebay and one of the ballast went bad. I thought i could just...

Im measuring my stand and I only have 10 1/2 inches front to back. Can i even fit a 10 gallon in there?

Dam, Then I guess I'll have to settle with a 10 gallon but the good news is I can get only 1 pump for both return and skimmer. Now my question would be what size pump for both since i have to conserve space. I was looking at the Dolphin Aqua Sea Amp Master 3000, but that seems to be a little...

wow, I never thought you could use the same pump for the return as well as the Skimmer. That would save a ton of space and money. When you say a Tee, do you mean when the water is comming from the over-flow into the sump? Will this help with bubbles going back into the tank. Then again if I...

Waterloom, you have been a great help. I'm confused when you stated you have the output of the skimmer going back into the sump. So you have two pumps? one for the skimmer and one for the return?

I'm thinking of getting a 1000 GPH external pump. Is there alot of bubbles comming from the skimmer going into the tank.

I called a store that supplies them and they stated that the skimmer requires 400 GPH. He also stated that not to go too much higher since it over flow the skimmer. So now I'm thinking of getting a total 800 GPH. So not to take away from the skimmer. I'm so confused. Maybe 1000 GPH. I...

Internal pump for the returna and for the Skimmer I want to see my options. If I have to get a 10 gallon I will go with the external and that way it won't take up all the room in the sump. I have no room behind the tank. The stand has about 3inch space for the electric cords to go thru. The...

my stand has one door in the middle. I'm wondering if I could squeeze it in there. Or should I go with a 10 gallon but wouldn't there be a lot of bubbles going in the tank? I really hope I can fit a 20 in there, maybe a 15 so I can put in dividers to get rid of bubbles and fit the skimmer...

c'mon Guys/Gals I need some help here.

Hello All, Long time reader of this board, (if it wasn't for all of you I wouldn't have a reef). Anyway, I have a 55 gallon and we all know the problems with space under the tank for a sump. I was wondering if a 20 gallon would fit under the tank. If so would a classic Berlin be too big...
