I was planning on just letting the water returning from the skimmer to flow over the edge of my sump via 1" flexible vinyl tubing. Is this a problem?

Thanks alot!

I'm about to order this skimmer, and I was wondering what parts I should order with it to be able to install it externally. I tried to search for some help via google, but was unsuccessful. I am completely clueless about the stuff needed to plumb it, so include anything that would be needed...

So, if I run this externally, I just put the pump in the sump, and it runs water to the protein skimmer for skimming? If this is true, what would I need to purchase with the skimmer get the water from the skimmer to my tank? Some sort of pipes i assume?

Would an aquac EV series protein skimmer fit in my tank. I was looking at the 180 model, which says it has a footprint that will fit in my sump, but it doesn't say if the size of the pump effects the footprint.

90 gallons with a 30 gallon sump. my sump doesn't have a big footprint for a skimmer larger than the coralife unfortunately, which is why I want to get an external skimmer.

I want a very effective skimmer for around 500 bucks that I can setup outside of my sump, not a hang on version either. I'm currently using a coralife 220, but I'm not liking the results that I'm getting.

It's actually white with a very faint blue hue. I'm using 250w HQI XM 20k bulbs. My ballast is a dual ballast by galaxy electronics made by sunlight supply. I'm wondering if it's just the bulb I'm using or if it is possibly the ballast? If it's the bulb, does anyone have a suggestion on a...

Also, one of the coral had pink tips. Now the tips are white, but the rest of the coral is an off green. I'm wondering if the white tip will color back to the pink, or if that part of the coral won't recover.

I ordered some tyree frags. The fed ex guy got here 8 hours late, so most of the corals lost alot of color. They are mostly brown with some of their original colors on the tips. I'm just wondering how long will it take to regain color in these frags, or if they will ever regain their original...

Was wondering what bulb is supposed to be the best. Thanks

I think that my phoenix bulb isn't running as high as a K value as it should. It seems to be white compared to other pics I have seen. I'm using a dual galaxy 250W ballast. Thanks.

I tried to research this, but I couldn't find any concrete answers. THanks.

I lost my instructions and was wondering how many drops it is per degree KH. Thanks.

I was wondering if a xenia would help remove the stuff that causes algae to grow in tanks as well.

what about indirect sunlight?

I've had my tank set up for almost a year with 2 250 metal halides 10 hours a day, corallife 250 skimmer, sump with macro algae etc, but i have a green algae that is furry in texture that has progressively taken over my tank. My zooanthids cannot spread, and some of my sps corals are almost...

Is this a bad idea? I have 220 watts of actinic lighting via VHO and was wondering if this was a viable way to "moonlight" the tank.

My RO/DI unit seems fine except of one part. First, the water flow is going very slowly, about 2 drops per second. Second there is a piece of plastic covering the membrane in the cylinder that houses the membrane. I have tried to remove the membrane from the housing to get off the plastic...

I was just wondering what everyone's input is on the amount of time to run lights in the fuge.
