sump skimmer recommendation

[anthony27]

I have a coralife 65 in my sump I want to put that into storage and I want to get a better skimmer one that has the power head a the bottom and not hanging with a plastic tube. Dont get me wrong I love the skimmer and coralife makes great products. I just want something that is going to pull more out of my tank. And I know aqua remora alot of ppl have them and swear by them. Never saw or had one so....:splitspin:splitspin


Thanks Everyone

Happy Reefing

Go with the Reef Octopus, I got the BH100F, and its pulling out wayy more than my remora's ever did..A plus is that the pump doesnt sit in your tank, but in the skimmer itself.. Works great too.

Anthony, I came by the EuroReef RS80 purely by accident, and although it is rated for a 90 gallon tank it is doing pretty good for me on my 155 gallon bow. Imagine what it would do on your tank. Look into them. You already know how I feel about the remoras.

Octopus seems to be a good bang for the buck. They use high end pumps. I'm running a Extreme 160 and is blows away my Remora.

I have to look into them how much are they used or new and does wny one sell them on this site.

SWC is made in the same chinese factory as Octopus.

These companies are basically copying known high end designs. I have read many good things about the "cone" style, which seems to be the current hot trend.
