LxWxH? Couldn't find these anywhere.

Do you think the Dolphin Aqua Sea 2100 is too much for my 105 gallon? My return line piped through the overflow is ¾ inch so I would down size the output from the pump. I have about 5 ft of head. If I dial it down would it be overkill and introduce more heat ? Thanks

What would be the better choice for lighting over a 16inch x 16inch x 16inch refugium? The CSL has a 10,000K Premium Daylight and Ultra Actinic bulb. I think the LOA is a 6500k bulb.

I wasn't sure if they were the same or not. I've seen a few posts that say they are. I saw on marinedepot.com that you can buy the impeller assembly but you might need proof of purchase of the sedra pump in order to do so. Sounds like someone trying to make some extra money. I thought if I...

I'm looking at the Euro-Reef Skimmer (CS6-2). I already have the Sen900. Does anyone know if this pump can be modified with the same impeller that is used in the Sedra pump that is sold with most Euro-Reef skimmers? Also, is the Euro-Reef (CS6-2) available without the pump? Thanks

Which Compact Fluorescent daylight bulb is better for a reef tank 6700k, 8800k, or 10000k?

I have an Oceanic 110 and it looks like the overflow box is coming detached from the glass. The tank is only 9 months old. It looks like tiny bubbles in the silicon between the glass and box. They are spreading from top to bottom. Has anyone had this problem before? If it does come apart...

I had the same problem with the stand pipe. Good idea, just didn't work quietly enough. I think my return pump may have been too strong (mag 9 on a 110 gallon). Those that don't like additional biological filtration won't like how I fixed my problem, but it worked like a charm. My internal...

That's it. Brown Wafer Algae, huh? My tank is about 9 months old. Pretty new in the grand scope of things. Hopefully if I keep the nutrients low, it will cycle itself out. Thanks for the informative link.

This guy started growing about 4 months after I added live rock to my tank. He tripled in size in about 4 months. Any idea on what type of coral it is. Each little hole contains what looks to be a little polyp. http://communities.msn.com/SaltwaterStuff/shoebox.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=2

Does anyone now what type of algae this is? Better yet, do you know how to get rid of it or stop it from spreading. It's real slick and can't be scrubbed off with a toothbrush. If the image didn't work, here is the link...
