SKIMMER Recommendation: Red Sea Rrizm Deluxe vs AquaC Remora

by **blueshoes2208** » Mon Aug 11, 2008 8:13 pm

yeah i am finding that the underneath of my tank has no room for a sump, and i dont really want to get complicated, i am doing a fish only app for the 70 gal, what are you guys' recommendations for a skimmer that doesnt require a sump?

AquaC Remora. set it and forget it. Pricey but I swear the God it worth every pennies.

have you looked at that rapids system i linked to you? it has a skimmer in it and you don't have to buy the auto top off system................. it's pretty compact, i'd still use the eihim canister with it as well .....just a thought

AquaC is an awsome lookin rig too...............

from what ive read, a fish only tank usually needs alot of skimming... this is because people tend to buy a bunch of fish for these systems.

my tank is a 55 FOWLR system, and i bought a skimmer rated for 100gallons. its just a seaclone skimmer. but it works well for me.

i have an aqua C remora on my system now...freaken awesome... but it's giving me wet skimate... i don't get it... but my LFS said that it has to get broken in before it starts really putting in work...

they are both similar technologies and you should have good luck with either

Ford or chevy......................?

dodge all the way...

anyways... the aqua c is upgradeable... you could always put a bigger powerhead later on...

some people just dont understand the blue oval has the most productions of any sports car on the planet.... ANYWAYS.... true that upgrades are good.... does anyone use uv sterilizers?
