Need new Protein Skimmer

[shnabbles]

My seaclone has just started leaking so im going to need a new one... Seaclone never really collected much at all and i have a pretty large bio load so im looking for a new protein skimmer.
Can anyone recommend a good brand name or something i can look for on "the auction site"?
Its a 50 gallon reef.
Thanks

The Aqua C Remora gets alot of praises.It should have the maxi-jet pump. Where is it leaking from? Mine leaked from the bottom of the j-tube. I packed aquarium silicone in there and never had a problem again. Hope this helps.

Thats exactly where mine is leaking.

I have the Aqau C Urchin Pro and it is a great unit!

It really depends on your price range, and how you plan on running it (ie: external, in sump, hang on)

I have the AquaC Remora on my 29 and I like it.

I just purchased the Aqua C Remora on the bay paid 148 i think with the maxi jet 1200 good deal yes or no?

I paid 160 at LFS for mine plus tax. SO unless shipping was bad you got a good deal... if it's new.

 

[shnabbles]

Yes its brand new, shipping was $15

 

[wax32]

Still not bad since you didn't pay any tax.

not bad but i got my Jebo 2003 with a 530 gph pump for 40 including shipping and i think it does a better job than the aqua C. im comparing to my friends.
