not to steal the trread, but in the above protein skimmer post it was mentioned the skimmer should be near the surface of the water to skim stuff off... so is the addition of the overflow cup with teh remora pro a good choice... and which pump the mag 3 or the rio?
This is also the one we are looking at... |

I think the cup helps with micro bubbles and is a good addition.
Don't go with the rio!

Even if you go with the Bak Pak, make sure you get the Maxi-jet pump, not the Rio. IMO the Remora is the better skimmer vs. the Bak Pak. |

it does not get any easier than the remora... stay away from the rio.
