Remora or Remor Pro for 55?


I have the below set up in my sig, with the DSB & LR, I'd say there is about 40-45 gallons of actuall water in the tank. I plan on possibly adding one more fish, and eventually having about 9 nine corals (LPS & softies). I am currently skimmerless (no sump or refugium either) and was wondering if I need the Remora Pro or if the Remora would work fine for me. I am concerned about space in the tank with Pro and the Mag3 pump. Thanks

Considering you are not going above 75 Gallons I would suggest you save some money and get the Remora. The Remora Pro is about $230.00 to $260.00 and the Remora is about $163.99 with free shipping at most online retailers or you can find one on eBay or a Reef forum used for cheaper. Make sure you get it with the MaxiJet 1200 and not the Rio 600. Hope this helps.

I have the Remora Pro on my 80 gallon reef tank and does an excellent job! Would not put one on any tank larger than 80. I would go with the Remora Pro on your set-up for sure!

I love the remora pro, I have one on my 29 so I don't think it would be overkill on a 55!! It made the transition from my old 75. If money is an issue though, the remora would be fine, but you will wish you had gone for the pro later on down the line.

I've run a Remora on my 55 for the past couple of years with the Maxi-Jet 1200. It is adequate but I'd rather have the Pro if I were doing it over. Get the Pro.
