If you can spend some money get deltec.

Actually i haven't tried it yet but I've heard it's pretty good

At the moment I have a Remora pro and I hate it. Not only is the pump big and ugly but it isn't skimming worth a darn

I've researched this thing extensively and it is, at best, inconsistant... Not good enough for that kinda money.

Glad I haven't bought one then .

I have a remora pro, a prism pro and a bak pak skimmer. The only one of those worth the money is the bak pak, providing you put the maxi jet on it

I would get the Aqua C..Mine works awsome, never had a problem with it. Always pulls out nice dark crud. I will admit when it starts to produce less crud just clean out the injector and viola!!

I got a remora used, and it works worth crap. I think the pump sucks, or something, but it skims absolutely nothing compared to my Red Sea Prizm (Which isn't the best thing, but for a mantis, its all I need). I like my CSS the most. I've only had 2 overflows because I added water without turning it down, and it skims great. For economical skimmers, its my favourite. Im getting a second one this week

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.
