no really i shyed away from the remora because i read on some reviews it can spill microbubbles
the prizm has a bubble baffle and not one bubble leaks back in the tank
it wasnt about money to me it was all about what the reviews said and those pesky bubbles
seems like all forums rave about the remora, but true reviews say different
alot of people love it and good for them

The AquaC Remora, ime, will pay for itself in different ways in the coming years.
How much does heartache cost? How about the satisfaction of a lovely tank?

I have read many good reviews on the remora, it can spill microbubbles back into the tank, but will stop once broken in.

I have heard lots of good things about the remora. From what I have heard it is the best hob skimmer for the price. |

any chance of microbubbles kinda blows tho
ive read only bad things about the prizm but i still gave it a shot. and this thing pulls out over a cup a day of gross foul smelling skimate, and zero bubbles from day one
every site says its garbage 
ive bought products before that had great reviews only to find out its crapola
anything that comes with a bad reo pump that has to be upgraded to a magdrive doesnt sound so hot, i mean if they know their pump isnt great why would they still sell it?
basically any skimmer will pull "something" heck i even got my skilter to pull nasties lol, got micro bubbles galore but theres not much i can do on a 10g
