[chefb_5]

Turboflotor Skimmers vs remora what ones do u all think is better??

 

[chefb_5]

hmmmmmm

 

[wolmutt]

How many gallons do you have total on your system, and what size skimmers are they?

 

[clownnut]

well, TF, i wont use it on anything bigger than 75G, if it has a OC 2700. lightly stock.
i dont like remora, i think 30g will be to big for that skimmer already.
one big skimmer always better than 2 small skimmers.

2 smaller skimmers can be done. It does make tuning them more work as it's hard to get both to skim well when there are two. Most cases your better off selling the two, and getting one really nice skimmer.

 

[RaysReef]

even if running 2 skimmers you are still limited to only what 1 can do. *Bigger skimmer, IMO*

well the remora aquaC holds like 2 and a half gallons so its a bigger 1 and it was like 720$ and the turboflotor is for up to a 220gallon tank so ??

 

[chefb_5]

and i have a 125gallon

The most expensive Aquac I can find is this one

AquaC EV400 Protein Skimmer

But the price is almost half what you are saying.

this 1 is a black long box with a 5" by 4" cup and at the top is wheer the water comes out! do u know the one im talking about now ??

 

[wolmutt]

nope, sorry, but it sounds like the others were thinking you had a hang on the back skimmer.

 

[wolmutt]

There is only so much that can be skimmed out of your water so if your aquac is as big as it sounds that should be fine.

 

[chefb_5]

ya this 1 is a hang on

 

[chefb_5]

both of them r hang on

 

[wolmutt]

okay.....well, with that said I would use both of them until you can get a drilled tank, a sump, and a better skimmer.

 

[wolmutt]

well the remora aquaC holds like 2 and a half gallons so its a bigger 1 and it was like 720$ and the turboflotor is for up to a 220gallon tank so ??

Please tell me you didn't pay $720 for this skimmer.

 

[chefb_5]

no the guy who traded me my 55gallon tank for his 125 and all his stuff for it including the remora so, any ways i was woundering what one is the best and would it hurt to run both of them in my 125gall??
