well, it sorta looks like the one i have, and they aren't going to know how far away your pump to your skimmer will be.
you probably need to get some 5/8 clear tubing. i *think* it fits right onto the mj1200 (you'll want to take it to the hardware store), but you'd need a barb attachment on the skimmer and they won't know what size you're going to use either, so putting in a barb fitting when they don't know what size tubing you're going to use isn't that great of an idea.

Power adapter? I believe you mean powerhead. When I took my Remora out of the box, there was a short length of clear plastic tubing already attached to the gray inlet pipe and a hose clamp. You take the output of the powerhead, slide it into the tubing, and tighten with the hose clamp. Then you hang it on the tank and plug it in. Honestly, the AquaC Remora is about as easy as it gets.

yeah I'm gonna to post pictures. I called the company I bought it from and they kind of walked me through it, it seems to be working, but I'm going to show you just to make sure. Also, I didn't mean to be a jerk...I was upset thinking they didn't send me something I needed. I did have the clear thing attached. I'll post a picture and you can tell me if I did it correctly. I didn't mean to come off mean...I'm sorry it came out as if I did. I ALWAYS appreciate the help I'm givin!! Hugs to you renogaw!!

i have the urchin pro aqua C remora with a rio 1400
my pump is a little different the collection cup will need to start almost as HIGH as it can get or you wil just be collecting somewhat clean water.
as it gets broken in you can lower depending on results.
where are you located?

Yeah, you've got it right, though I'd probably just leave the collection cup alone for now and see what you get. While it's breaking in it's not going to make much foam anyway, and if you move it up you probably won't pull anything.

I have the aqua C remora pro. Works great. I would raise your water level though or you will get a lot of salt residue from the splashing. You have installed it right. I keep my collection cup about half way. When you first hook it up you will need to empty it every day, until it breaks in. Their web site is very informative.

if you don't like the bubles you may be able to put this onto a sump (don't know if you have one). mine's in the sump so the bubbles from the skimmer get either absorbed into the water before getting to the tank, or just don't get taken in by my return pump.
hugs back, no harm no foul?
