Im driving myself crazy - Help me pick out your skimmer choice for a 70 gallon FOWLR to go with a fluval 404.

Chris,
I have a Prism on my 45 with a Fluval 304. Seems to be a good conbination.

I've got the remora pro on my 90 FOWLR/LS aggressive, and I haven't had any problems. It keeps the water crystal clear and the only noise if from the pump. Upgrade from the rio to something good and you've got one silent skimmer.
Oh yeah, no need for the big pre-skimmer box. Just place the pump within 3 inches of the surface and all is good.

Thanks guys,
I saw too much negative feedback on the seaclone here, so I really didnt look into it too much. I also had a prizm for months, but its just too loud, despite doing a good job.
Im leaning towards the bakpak2 just to save $100.

Remember, the bakpak is clear, thus letting light enter and promoting algae growth. You'll have to clean it out quite a bit more often than with the remora. Also, if going bakpak, take out the bio bale.

The negative comments about the Seaclone are probably talking about the older version....I bought mine about 3 weeks ago and it has a few improvements to address the problems of the past.
