My Remora Aqua C Pro had a Rio then I put a MJ 1200 on and it worked OK,but when I bought a Coralife HOB,It blew away the Remora.But never had a problem with MJs.

I'm still torn between the Coralife 65 or 125 HO (37g tank), or aqua c remora with 1200, or cpr backpack...they all have mixed reviews!

If you want a HOB skimmer, go Octo. You pay a little more but they produce well and are less finicky than the Coralife.

Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky went hunting? Well anyway, Brasky decides he's gonna hunt down all four members of the Banana Splits. He stalks and kills every one of them with a machete. They all beg for their lives, except Fleagul.
