Same thing I pointed out in a previous post. Use heavy duty clamps, or you can double wrap with 304 or 316 stainless steel wire and twist with pliers to tighten.(Maybe use the stock clamps and back them up with stainless wire?)

Very minor issue and nothing to prevent you from buying this skimmer.

304 and 316 stainless wire isn't the easiest stuff to find, but if you need some just PM me and I'll send as much as you could ever need for what the shipping will cost.

Thanks for the further explanation, Gary. Will probably look for the air conditioner clamps to be on the safe side. Gads, you wouldn't want to see how fast my hair would light on fire if a pump started shooting water out of a tank

We're going to see a couple of Remora Pros in action next week at a local reefer's house. That should give us a pretty good idea of how they work and what they look like. (Thanks, Josh!) Then, we'll look at our finances to see how we can fit them into our budget.

Thank you, everybody, for your great input
