is my tank 2 big?

[first timer]

i am interested in getting a remora protein skimmer for my 75 gallon. but i don't know if it will be enough. i don't have a sump and my coral load is small for the time being, but i don't want to upgrade again when my tank fills up. i was also thinking about the coralife 125. but i would prefer the remora if possible.i will not go higher than $175. if anyone has some info please help.

It should be ok. It might be kinda small if your going to have a bigger bioload. I wouldent waste my money with it. Get the octopus bh300f or bermuda rogue wave

im pretty sure i can afford the octopus. but the only place i can find the rogue wave is their website which is way overpriced.

The Remora should be fine for you. I have one on my 75 and it most certainly is NOT a waste of money.

I saw a remora in the classified section ($100

)....go for it. It needs a pump

My Bf has recently bought a ASM Mini-G for his 75 and he has noticed a big different already. The great thing about the product is that it has a built in pump on the bottom that allows you to plug it in and begin cleaning. He is very pleased with the unit and the price. G Luck

dragon zim whats your coral load like?
thanks kerri ann i will get some info on those skimmers
if i bought a remora with no pump is there a better model than the maxijet 1200 & how much does it go for.
thanks 2 all the experienced hobbiest out there who keep new guys like me from getting ripped off & sharing some of your knowledge. not trying 2 be cheesy but ive learned more in these message boards than in most books. nothing beats first hand experience.

Too fishy with a dot com has the rogue for 270 with a pump. I have selling a brand new rogue with a mag 5 for 240.
