One of the guys that was a co-owner of Euro Reef has picked up our order and is making good on it for us through his new company. We'll have our new impellers come Friday. I'll post again when the impellers arrive. I'm still in the market for a new skimmer though.

Thanks Len. I've looked at the cone skimmers and the jury is still out for me on those, but yeah.. support is huge for me these days. This is why I ditched my HP laptop and bought a Mac :) You know, that is a really cheesy brand name. I'm never sure if I should trust their products or not...

Some time around Thanksgiving, I posted here asking for advice on getting a new protein skimmer because I had discovered that Euro-reef had discontinued mine a while ago and was having difficulty finding replacement parts. We did find out how to order replacement parts through Euro-Reef and...

Thanks for this! This is exactly what I was looking for. I'll have hubby order an impeller today. I appreciate the link for them because I could not find that page to save my life. :) I had wondered if cone skimmers were a fad. I'm not sure I have enough space in my current sump for one of...

It's been a while since I posted. Previous skimmer was a euro reef cs5-3. The impeller became warped and finally gave up the ghost yesterday. Hubby and I tried to find a source for parts, but we can't find them. If it's still possible to buy parts for the sedra, I'd rather do that for now...

My Whisper 10 powerfilter has finally given up the ghost in my 7g nano. I've looked for the same powerfilter that I have now locally and no one has them. I also can't find them online. I've only found that most places carry the model that I have in my 2.5g freshwater tank... the one that puts...

It depends on the sump and the overflow. Try doing a google search for "aqua clear sump directions" and see what you get. Good luck! J.

Very nice chip! Where did you come up with those? J.

Central air helps, but I have a large house, so it gets expensive to keep temps low in the tank with the central air system. In addition to central air, to help save my budget, I have two four inch cooling fans in the canopy to keep my mh's from overheating the tank. I also have a clip fan on...

I really highly recommend the aqua c remora skimmers. I've heard good things about the bak-paks, but I think they are too small for you tank. For your size tank, remoras do an amazing job. Also, there are two things in your tank that are going to be the life's blood of your animals as far as...

I say go for broke like I did, and put in 2, 250 w HQI/DE MH lamps :-) J.

That depends on why they told you that you don't have enough circulation. If you are experiencing an algae problem of some kind, such as cyanobacteria, then you definitely need to rethink your flow pattern. That's not so much related to the number of gallons per hour your powerhead can produce...

Yeah, but you can still keep them with anything if you're smart about the order in which you add the other fish around them. J.

How would you feel if the lights never went out? J.

I plan for my next tank to be either bare bottom, some kind of reef safe board that looks like sand, or very shallow sand. I really like the beach look in a tank, so starboard would be ideal I think. I may still rip out the dsb from this tank, but I will try reducing the photoperiod first. It...
