remora hob skimmer

I have a Remora HOB skimmer and have been using a Pre Skimmer with it. It takes a little more effort to clean and it also takes up a lot of tank space. I was thinking of just taking it out all together. It's out right now as I am cleaning it. Also how important is the sponge on the return flow...

Does anyone have experience with the aqua c remora hob skimmer? I have got some good feedback about skimmers on here and done a lot of research online and everything keeps pointing to the aqua c remora. any thoughts? thanks in advance

My father-in-law (HOMER nickname) and I have both wanted a salt water tank for as long as either one of us can remember. About a week ago one of Homers friends gave us a 50 gallon SeaClear tank . We decided to make a live reef out of it. I have been doing a lot of research on it since then. And...

I just picked up a 28 bowfront which was really all we could fit until moving next year from this little townhouse. It will be sumpless with a Remora HOB skimmer. Any idea what to do for circulation? The choices are a couple of MJ 1200's or else a Tunze. Are the Tunze Streams too big? If...

Anyone have any experience with these things? I do not have a sump and am looking for some mechanical filtration to clean up all the junk & particles flying around the tank. I currently have a Remora HOB skimmer, but I would imagine the extra skimmer in the skilter filter wouldnt hurt. This is...

Anyone here run a sump return line to a spraybar? If there is about 600-700 gph running through the sump would that be enough for a 48" long spraybar? Thanks

Just thought i'd introduce myself to the group. I'm a new to Rochester and to the Saltwater aquariums. Just started my tank up in Sept. I have a 55 gallon tank, 140lbs of live sand, 40lbs on live rock, which i need to purchase more, any suggestions??? I have a basic fluval power filter 404...

Okay guys I need help. I am getting ready to break down one of my 55 fw tanks and convert it. It has a canister filter rated for 150 gallon tank. I would like to do a sump but I don't want to drill the tank. So how do I add a sump/skimmer without drilling the tank? Keep in mind I have no...

Ok, I have a CLS with a Velocity T3 that is run over the back of the tank. I have (1) 1" pvc intake and (2) 1" returns each split into (2) 1/2" outlets. The pump is only 24" below the top of the tank. About every 2 to 3 minutes a blast of micro bubbles is released into the tank. I think the...

Well, After over 5 1/2 years it's time to sell my 30 gal reef setup. For now, I'm open to offers for the whole setup. Offers for individual pieces are welcome as well. The tank itself is kinda scratched up so I'd recommend a new one if you want to stick with the same size. I will be posting...

Bought that Current usa fission nano skimmer and it does not fit.Does any skimmer fit in any of those chambers?I left the sponge in and took out the other media.Any help would be appreciated.

Anyone uses this skimmer in here? What do you think of it? + and - comments please. Thanks, -Khan

i would like to ask a question that hopefully everyone will chime in on which protein skimmer out there is the best by best i mean most results with the smallest amout of tinkering i am tired of tinkering with my sea clone and would love to see what other people think i have a bac pack on my...

My 55G is 6 months old and I've got a bit of red slime I want to eliminate. Reading various threads its been suggested that with a protien skimmer and plenty of LR the sponges in the cannister filter are probably doing more harm than good. So I just cleaned the cannister(Rena Filstar XP2) and...

Anyone have any experience with the Via-Aqua Multiskimmer? It is a hang on back skimmer - which kind of also does a bit of mechanical and bio filtration. I was kind of curious as the price is a lot more attractive compared to the other hang-on-back skimmers. About $40 difference. I currently...

Hello everyone, I have never used this site before, I usually use nano-reef.com But I am serving over in Kuwait right now. And the military server wont let me get on that site. Since I have been here I ordered just about everything to start my tank up when I get home sometime in early...

OK here goes, first post. So I'm new to this whole hobby, I have kept a 29 gallon African Cichlid tank for three years, and decided to sell it and get into some real aquarium husbandry. I have a 42 gallon Hex made by oceanic systems, as seen here. The problem is, I wanted to build a...

This is the moment I've been having nightmares about for months.... I've just bought a house (yayee!) and will buying a new tank that will "fit better" than my current corner tank. .. For sale: 44gal Perfecto corner hex (some minor scratches, lots of coraline), black stand which is perfect...
