Still Having Problems Finding A skimmer

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.

Huh, I did quite a bit of Usenet reading before I bought my AquaC, and
if there were any negative comments about it, they were far outweighed
by the positive comments. But maybe things have changed.

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.

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 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.

I read wetwebmedia comments. Seaclown I believe they called a "defect of the protein separation market. " I will agree! However, I am impressed with this aquarium ç Remora Pro. I got some beautiful brown skim mate chickens and a lot of it from the child.
