Suggestions for pump on Aqua C Remora Pro Skimmer

Are you sure yours is a "Pro", the Pro model comes with a Mag 3, the "regular" comes with a MJ1200. I tried putting a Mag 3 on my Remora (not Pro), and all it does is produce mass amount of bubbles and overflows the cup with clear skimmate. Stupid thing. The whole skimmer is collecting dust in my closet now.

my pro came with a mag 3 and with the overflow box. i have it hanging on the back of my 44g corner tank.

I have a Mag-3 on mine, I hang mine on my fuge under the display tank.
All I can say is it pulls nice dry skimmate ( after 3 week break-in ).

Works great for me but every tank is diffrent

ya, My Aqua C Urchin, which is just the in sump version of the Remoa, talkes 2 weeks or so to break in after I clean it thourally. Then pulls nice skimmate. Collection cup mounted fairly high. I use a Oddesea 3000 Pump on mine. It's a Pinwheel style impeller pump. Seems to work good

I have the remora pro's both with mag 3's. One on my 72 and one on my 95. I do not
have sumps on either tanks. I am happy with them. I have had no problems with either.
But I have never had anything to compare it with.

I almost have my collection cup raised to the max and I still need to clean the cup every week or two.
