Is this a good Skimmer?

[Lukas]

So, I will have to get a better skimmer soon. And I've found a Remora Pro Hang On Back Protein Skimmer, will it work?
I have to have a HOB skimmer because I don't have a sump.

[redeclipse6049]

someone on here is selling one of those. I can't remember who though... it's in my "biocube skimmer" thread

[christensonjes]

As far as HOB skimmers go, that is a good one. I have heard a lot of people recommend them

[happygirl]

I'm a big fan of the Octopus HOB skimmers. They have a surface skimming water intake that works very well. IMO.

[REEFSTOCK]

As rain how she liked her ramora pro. I hated it. They are very noisy. It worked ok though.

[yangtoumoua]

I would go with the reef octopus HOB skimmers. They are quiet and easy to use.

[wireefman]

+3 for the octo hob skimmer i use one as well.... as far as hob skimmers go imo they cant be beat

[speedsport]

Octo skimmers you cant go wrong.

I use a SeaCLone 100 on my 26g and I am happy with it.

i have that one on my 29 gallon and i love it. pulls alot of gunk out. How big is your tank?

seaclones are the bottom of the skimmer line. They work, but are WAY over rated. Yours is rated for 100 gallons. I would not use it on a tank larger than your 26. Good for your application, but if you upgrade tanks, it'll hafta go.

No offense dude but IMO the seaclones are pieces of $*it. i've owned both the 100 and 150 and i didn't like them. i wouldn't take one if it was for free! but hey whatever floats your boat.

I would!

anyone... anyone... Bueller?

Luke,
if i remember right you have a 75?
dont remember ?
i'd try and get a sump for it if possible, that way you can get a better skimmer then a HOB, lmk me i may have a sump for you.

I have a 45 gallon, but I don't know if its possible to set up a sump now.

Go with the octo. What corals are you planning on putting in this tank?
That tends to influence what skimmer you need/ sump or no sump.
Hard corals like big skimmers and sumps (for extra flow and turnover)

Why is everybody knocking the Remora HOB? I had a lot of success with it, great name brand, reputable company. Gotta show my love for Remora.
I had LPS, SPS, and clams and it did a great job on my tank.

[Lurch]

I've got a Remora Pro for sale. Worked great on my 40b and 20l.

I don't think anyone is knocking on the remora. Everyone just like the octopus more. And I was knocking on the seaclone. I hate seaclones.JIMO.

They work great, but I have never had one in my bedroom. They might be a little loud. Lukas, your timing is all off. I just gave one away... LOL

lol, Yeah. but my aquarium isn't in my bedroom it's in the basement, I hope I still dont hear it :biggrin:

[PaulTushaus]

I have my remora pro running in my bedroom a few feet and have no problems with the noise acctually it's running pretty silent... but depending on the cup positioning, tank positioning ect. that can change....
