[lionfish1]

Hi, at the moment I am running a Prizm on my 46 gal but am not to happy eith it, I want to upgrade to the Aqua C Remora with maxijet1200 or the R

 

[lionfish1]

....continued, Remora Pro with magdrive3, I want a good efficient hang-on skimmer, anyone with any experience with these skimmers, my tank is stocked above avrage and with a few fish and inverts, I do get a good size bioload, thanks again.

are u talking about an Aqua-Clear H.O.T.?

 

[mtellin]

have you considered a PM HOT-1? I know a lot of people like them better than the Remora Pro and its cheaper to boot. I like mine now that I figured out how to set it right

I will look in to it, thanks mtellin.

FWIW I got mine at marine depot, so with free shipping I got it delievered to my door for something like 175.00. There was also a good thread awhile back comparing the Remora Pro vs the PM HOT-1, might want to try searchin for it, that was how I made my decision when I got mine

mtellin, I saw one site and they recomend the senator 900 thats quite a big powerhead to be in a tank 2 much heat in my book, I was thinking on using a Dolphin PondMaster 385 also at marinedepot, is this pump sufficient for this skimmer, one guy even uses the maxijet1200, thanks again.

 

[lionfish1]

and what pumps are you all using, thanks again.

how about a CPR BacPac 2r alot of people here use the cpr I bought one and am happy with it.

Ive only heard to use a maxi-jet 1200 with venturi attachment on the HOT-1, thats what I use and couldnt be happier, lots and lots of bubbles in the column

[lionfish1]

mtellin what size tank are you using it on.

 

[mtellin]

75 gallon, no sump (obviously), no refugium, all water params ok, checked with salifert test kits

Mike

 

[lionfish1]

I just ordered one will let you know how it works out, thanks again.

 

[mtellin]

Did you order it with the sen 900 pump? I have never seen anyone recommend that large of a pump for the HOT-1 so if you did please let me know what you think and also how loud it is so I can decide if I want to upgrade some day
