OMG! Thinking of Getting Remora Skimmers, Need Advice Please

[Ruth]

You know, I would have thought the same thing as Willow before I ran a system with that Deltec. I have the Deltec set up on a 44g cube. I also have an ASM G4X with the recirculating mod set up on my 230g. The Deltec skims every bit as good if not better than the the ASM. I have a sump on my cube and could run an in sump skimmer if I chose to but I would be hard pressed to be convinced to take the Deltec out of operation. I also have a Remora Pro (yeah I know too many skimmers in my house) and would rate the performance as good, not as good as the Deltec, but still good. It's just as Beverly said it's that darn honking Mag pump in the tank.

I would agree with that Willow but I,m only going to use it, if running sumpless, which is Bev,s situation. I would not likely use one, if running a sump, as I would stick with my beckett.

For myself, in my new place, sumpless may be the way to go, thus the Deltec.

Good comparison Ruth.

Here's a couple of pictures of my tank taken a few months ago. The Mag5 that's driving the Remora is hidden behind the rockwork. You can see the Hagen surface skimmer and the Remora's intake tube as well as the filter sponge bubble trap, but all things considered it's not too intrusive.
