Default Still Having Problems Finding A skimmer

You will never get a frothy foam that stays that way in the cup.
It will always turn into gnarly "tea".
The way I think about it is, the lower the cup the more "water"
in the tea, but more tea, the higher the cup less "water" in the tea.....
to an extent.

Too low and you will get much more water, too
high and you won't get much of anything in the cup.

Smelly tea mixed with baby shat...
I almost threw up the one day when I went in the fish closet behind my
tank.
I think I need ventilation back there.

Question: Wont you get a darker foam if you raise the collection cup
and more
soupy lighter skimmate when it's lower ? I haven't played with that yet.

You might find that most of Negative comments on the Remora Pro
with the Mag 3 is
that it creates a different looking skimmate that many other
skimmers. Many skimmers
you get a dark foam, and people expect this.. with the Remora you
get a very dark very
smelly tea in the collection cup. Their efficiency is right up
there though. Just different
looking skimmate.

It really swings back and forth dependingh on who you talk too. I have
also been looking at a hang on back skimmer. From my reading you
either love or hate the Aqua Cs. Some say they work great while others
say they have to constantlty play with it to get good consistent
skimming. Same goes for the Euro Reff and Bakpac. I have been looking
at the Deltec. I have been reading good reviews, not mixed. Only
issue with these guys is the cost whcih is like $440.00.

I can't say enough good stuff about the AquaC Remora. I have one on my
55 gal tank. People recommend switching to the Remora Pro if your tank
is larger than 75 gallons.
