[kappaxbomb]

Thanks

I too use an Aqua C which I like very much.

Whatever you do, DO NOT get a biocube protein skimmer. Even if you have a biocube these guys do not work. I've had mine for awhile now it has not done anything. I ended up ordering an Aqua-C remora like these guys are recomending. I've done a lot of research and foud that is best fit for my 38 gallon.

I will jump on the bandwagon and add my vote to the Remoras. Have been using one on a 29g for a couple years with excellent results. FYI, It may take a couple days to break in.

I will actually watch the bandwagon drive by as I recommend an octopus 100 bh. Remoras are good though.

I just hooked up a brand new oct100bh to a 35g and I had some nasty stuff within 24 hours. It's still breaking in. I'm happy so far.

hey the coralife superskimmer 65 works very well on a 29g thats what I use on my 29 reef.

I too am trying to deciede what to put on my 29g. I looked at the aqua-c remora and the octopus and the octopus is like $100 cheaper!!
