anyone got a suggestions on a good hang-on skimmer for a 75 or 90 gallon FOWLR setup. ive been looking at the aqua C remora. seems to get good reviews on retail websites.

I would consider getting a octupus HOB. Works great for me so far and skims out alo of gunk! Keeps your water sparkling clear aswell.

If you like the aqua c remora then I would get the pro. It is for tanks over 75 gals. I have the regular aqua c remora on my 29 and I am very happy with it

IMO, the remora pro is the best and easiest HOB skimmer I've ever used. Great tech support too.

I have the pro on my 90 gallon running off a mag 5 pump. I love it and would recommend it to anybody looking for a HOB skimmer.

I agree. Just be patient while it breaks in.

i've seen others with the same complaints i have. i just wonder what you remora owners compare this skimmer to.

i'm comparing this skimmer to an ASM G1X, G4X, Euro-Reef 6-2, Coralife Super Skimmer 65, and an AquaMedic turbofloater, all of which were quieter than the Remora, and produced significantly more skimmate without a single microbubble.

just the super skimmer, and the aquamedic. i like the aquamedic better than the SS. i was referring to the asm skimmers for a sound reference.

thanks for the feedback. the remora pro HOB seems to be a popular choice. i'd get a deltec or euro-reef but i cant see spending a grand for a skimmer when 250 will work just fine. have to stay in my budget. thanks again all!
