I am looking at adding a hang on the back protine skimmer to my 75 gallon reef tank. I had a post before about what protine skimmer and someone said to go with an octopus skimmer. Does anyone know of what i should get? if you do please tell me the make and model number so that i can look it up. I am on a limited budget so i cannot go with the most expensive one out there.
I have seen OCT-BH-100 and OCT-BH-100F but i don't even know the difference between them.
Please help!

Can any suggest a make and model of HOB protine skimmer for my 75 gallon reef with my limited budget in mind.
I thought this is what this post was about but seems others are using it for alternate topics.

Don't get all upset, it happens..somebody will chime in and help you out..patience is key for this hobby. Sometimes you have to wait to get answers.
The AquaC Remora is a good quality skimmer for only $139.
The Sea Clone Protein skimmer is only $99, some say it isn't good but some say its awesome.

i have an aqua c and its great. however they also make an aqua c remora pro, which i would suggest for a tank your size, the only reason i did not get it was my little seahorse would get sucked in

+1 i love my remora. its pulls some dark skim and it smells gross, so its working great! i would also recommend the pro, also get the better pump for it since it will make a difference.

I would buy the Remora at Ricks pet shop for $99 used, but im scared that it leaks or the pump does not work, and they don't have refunds.
