I have a Remora ( not pro ) running a mag3.Very wet skimmate set on the driest setting,sort of tea colored.Has to be emptied every day.The pumps they originaly came with are too small,but I think the newer ones have upgraded pumps.

I have 2 Remora Pro's...one on my 65g reef and had one on my 50g FOWLR (just took down...). I don't have many complaints...they skimmed well for me...very wet skimate never really dry but I only empty..when it needs it - and give it a scrub (all tubes, collection cup, inside of where collection cup sits) each time I empty it. I do think they may be a bit noisy but I don't have much to compare them to. I didn't like the microbubbles I got from them though and the one on my 50g had a prefilter box but it is large and a bit invasive...the one on the reef sits on the side of the custom sump (yea I know I should have an insump but there still is no room) so the microbubbles have a chance to dissipate first...all in all I do still really like them when you have HOB as your option. I had a Prism Pro and it was awful! Just my 2 cents!

I have 2 Deltec HOB skimmers and 1 Remora Pro HOB skimmer. IME the Deltec skimmers work very well and I would definately rate it the best skimmer of the 2. The other plus of the Deltec is that there is no large pump sitting in your tank. As far as rating them for actual skimming ability I would still rate the Deltec as the best but don't know that the difference in price is worth the difference is skimming. The Deltec is quite a bit more expensive than the Remora Pro and I would not say that it skims THAT much better, however the austetics are definately worth something to me - and as far as quality of construction I would again rate the Deltec better.

I would second Ed's choice. The Coralife super skimmers are great. A little sensitive to adjust but quite simple and easy to work with.
