Protein Skimmer question

[ReeferMadness]

i need to get a protein skimmer for my 30g tank and need recommendations from u guys. i did a search and so far i think i might get the AquaC remora hang on with the maxijet 1200 ($164 from marinedepot.com). is this skimmer any good or are there better ones out there for the money for my size tank. thanks a lot in advance.

russ its a 30 gallon.... lmao

it's a 30g. a friend recommended seaclone. any thoughts on that compared to the aquaC remora?

 

[Tonyscoots84]

stay away from seaclownlolz... .. how long has ur friend been in the hobby.... ull be better off going with the remora or with russ's suggestion the coralife skimmer.....

DUH, 30 gallon? You want me to read everything? lol

I'd go with daily water changes in lieu of a seaclown. Try the Coralife Super Skimmer 65 or 125. I have the 65 and I love it (after the mods I did).

agree with russ... thats alot of water changes a month/year.. wow... hehe coralife is also a good HOB skimmer...

sounds like coralife it is plus it's cheaper than the remora. just curious..what are some of these mods you have on the coralife super skimmer??

I used a Prism on my 29 and still use it on the 55 gal. TOny has one for sale cheap enough so you can save.

 

[masterswimmer]

Hey madness, I got your PM and responded. Hope that helps.

I just got a Remora for my 33 G long. They offered to custom build it to my short tank at no charge. I have used the remora pro on a 90G and it works great. Make sure you get the overflow box as it helps remove more gunk.

thanks for the help guys. i think im going to buy a used remora off lazyreefer.

Remora C is a good choice. Easy to set up and maintain. Haven't priced them lately, but for a 30, a BakPak is also a good choice. When I first started, I got a Seaclone, but never saw any foam and soon upgraded to BakPak and then to Remora.
