Great Skimmer by WAYNE WILLIAMS

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 11/25/2009 from THROOP, PA UNITED STATES

Comments: After looking at many skimmers and reading the reviews I decided to purchase the AquaC. I was a little skeptical about reading "How Loud This Skimmer Was" but took the plunge and I have really no idea what some people were talking about, especially if they had ever owned a Venturi pump driven skimmer. This skimmer is not only quiet, but from day one, it started skimming the junk out of the water. Sure you can here a little mixing action but that also means you know its working. The skimmer was also very easy to set up. I am running it on a JBJ Nanocube and am very happy with it. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Great Skimmer!!!! by Ajb2k1

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 10/7/2009 from Connecticut

Comments: This skimmer works great - it just takes about 5 days to start producing skim, but now it is doing an awesome job. I bought the filter box, that covers the power head, but I think it looks ugly and bulky. And you really have to watch your water level, if it goes too low the power head will run dry. So i am going to return it. I would def. recommend getting the version with the drain fitting, so you can run a hose from the skim collector to a bucket or 1 gallon jug. Awesome product!! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

great so far by ANDY A.

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 9/19/2009 from MILFORD, PA UNITED STATES

Comments: I received my AquaC Remora w/Maxi-Jet 1200 with the drain plug a week ago The instructions stink!! All u have to do is add the 1200 to the skimmer (DO NOT PUT THE PARTS THAT COME WITH THE 1200 TOGETHER)The small piece of tubing (5/8" or 1/2") that is attached to the skimmer attaches right to the 1200 with the two clamps provided. Attach to the back of your aquarium and plug it on and it's done. It took two day after playing with the o-ring (thank god for the drain plug because when I can home from work I had about 1 gallon of water in the bucket!!) The instructions do not tell u where to position the o-ring I had it high up on the collection cup thus causing the near flood. The o-ring needs to be positioned just under the drain plug if u have one or towards the very bottom if u don't. The aquaC is pulling quite a bit of gunk from the tank and the water quality looks great. Is a bit noisy but tolerable. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Started leaking by Coral Reefer

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 8/24/2009 from BRENTWOOD, TN UNITED STATES

Comments: This is a good skimmer. It removes some gunk after it breaks in. However, it started leaking from the bottom after a few months of use. I fixed the leak with a lot of reef silicone. Very easy to clean and maintain. It is very noisy. You can put a piece of plastic or a sponge on top of the spray nossle area, right under the collection cup. This reduces the noise by a good 60%. Its a little pricey for what you get. Do not use hot water to clean this thing. It will crack. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Good Skimmer by Bill A

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 8/3/2009 from WAYNE, NJ

Comments: I have owned the AquaC Remora (with drain plug) for about two weeks and the skimmer works great on my 30 gallon reef tank. The AquaC has out performed the other skimmers I’ve owned in the past and my corals have improved. There are a few minor issues worth noting which include a very noisy operation, poor placement of the drain plug, and excessively large pre-skimmer filter box. I’m hoping the noise quiets down after a few more weeks of operation, the drain plug should have been moved higher within the collection cup, and the filter box should have been about half the size of it’s current design. Overall, I would recommend this product because of its efficiency when compared to other skimmers. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Noisy skimmer by TODD GREEN

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 6/4/2009 from LAKE FOREST, CA UNITED STATES

Comments: This Protein Skimmer has been running for about a week now, and it is still very very noisy. I also bought the optional surface skimmer attachment and that is pretty much useless, the top of the water still has the film. I would not recommend this skimmer for anybody as there are many more available for same price or cheaper that are much higher quality. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

All Smiles by BRENT HASCALL

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 4/14/2009 from EDEN PRAIRIE, MN UNITED STATES

Comments: Awesome Awesome product, I could not be happier with this price and product. Hands down the best skimmer that I have ever owned, so easy to use. It is not too loud and sucks lots of dissolved organics and polutants out of the water consistently and quickly. Make sure to buy the surface skimmer(AC 3323), it keeps the surface crystal clear, therefore the tank is brighter and cleaner/clearer. The drain feature is a must, simply tip the collection container to the side and all of the dirty brown contents collected flows down the disposal tube to wherever you decide to drain it to so that you can dispose of it later. Easy to clean and Remora staff answered questions quickly and correctly when I called and got me back on track. I will sticking with Remora for all future skimmer needs, I love this product. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: Just got my AquaC Remora Hang-On Protein Skimmer w/ Drain Fitting + Maxi-Jet 1200 Pump a few weeks ago for a new tank and I'm happy with my purchase. As I add live rock and other items it definitely starts working right away. Not that noisy, you can tell it's there cause of the injection bubble method, but the results are worth it. I recommend this product over my last seaclone skimmer hands down. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: If your on a budget,it's worth having. Otherwise go with deltec.I still can't believe what a deltec skimmer can do, it put the remora to shame. Other than that once you find the sweet spot for the remora it works alright. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Posted on 12/18/2008 from SURPRISE, AZ UNITED STATES

Comments: product didn't take long to put on, it would have been easier if the diagram showed the pump attached to the skimmer. Overall it's already skimming brown junk from the tank but is still a little loud(it's only been a week since I got it)The instructions did say it would get quieter and I am very sensitive to noise. I like the sleek design and it appears well made. I also requested the plug for the drain fitting and it was sent w/in the week for free :) Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Remora with maxi1200 by Spike

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 10/6/2008 from SIOUX FALLS, SD UNITED STATES

Comments: I have had this skimmer a week now and it has been amazing. I opted to get the drain fitting after all the issues others had with flooding. I have had nothing but a nice dark green/brown thick foam and a little over a full cup since in the first week. It has a clean sleek look that I love. It is not loud as I had others suggest and it has pulled out in a week what my previous skimmer did in a month. It was so easy to set up, just adjust the screws so it hangs flat and attatch the pump to the tube and plug it in. It takes less then 3 minutes to set up and that includes washing it to remove any shipping oils etc. I would recommend this 100x over. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Amazing Skimmer for Nano Tanks by THOMAS A T RONZETTI

Comments: Nothing can express my delight when it comes to this skimmer. It fits perfectly on my 24g AquaPod, and the sludge that comes out of it is revolting. I thought my water was pristine...but the skimmate that comes out of here can sure tell that my corals are happy! Keeps my LPS and softies happy, with the Millepora doing fine as well Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I bought this protein skimmer for my 20 gallon salt water tank. I have another brand in the sump of my 75 gallon reef tank. Though the install instructions were vague, it was relatively easy to set up and worked right out of the package. I travel a great deal and really like the vent feature. I bought 4' of the appropriate size tubing and have it empty into a 1 gallon water jug so the cup will never overflow when I am out of town. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Better but a little noisey. by CHARLES GREGORY

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 8/18/2008 from BLACKSBURG, VA UNITED STATES

Comments: This was a replacement for a 4 year old skimmer that now made way too much noise. This makes less noise, more like white noise, but it does a better job overall than my old one. If I did not get the drain I suspect I would have had a pool of water after day 1. IT has leveled off good after 3 weeks and runs smooth. The directions sucked for something you pay this much for but I could deduce most of it but it would have been so easy to make it clear or have online directions. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Great Skimmer! by emzee

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 8/7/2008 from SHREWSBURY, MA UNITED STATES

Comments: I have my drain fitting output running down to a gallon jug. It produces more than a 1/4 gallon of dark (opaque) skimmate a week (from a 55gal tank). The drain fitting is a MUST, unless you like emptying the cup once or twice a day to prevent overflow. Setup was easy, and it has been running problem free for 3 months now. I have my pump input connected through tubing to a 3rd party surface skimmer (item code OE1138) 3 feet away so I can separate the intake water source from the skimmer water output. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I love my Skimmer. It is installed on my 40 and love the way it skimms, I just soaked the skimmerbox for a week and its plug and play. No overskimming nothing. This skimmer skims better then my EuroReef everdid. I am going to purchase another for my 90 to run as supplmental. Noise does go away after a month or so. It has to get to like your tank.

Loud and touchy by Tim

Experience Level: Beginner

Posted on 7/29/2008 from Miami, FL

Comments: This unit is annoyingly loud, I have to turn it off when talking to someone in the same room or watching a movie. Skimmed copious white, wet foam for the break-in period even at the highest setting, making the drain fitting a requirement to avoid flooding. I drained right back into the tank. Chamber on the right side fits a heater nicely allowing you to remove that from the main tank. Unit is extremely sensitive to oils and stops producing any foam for many hours whenever you put your hand in the tank. Part of the problem is no way to adjust how much foam is produced, you can only raise or lower the height of the collection cup. On the plus side, this skimmer looks nice. I used this with the surface filter add-on, which is very poorly designed and not recommended. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Remora H.O.T. by MICHAEL DAVILA

Experience Level: Beginner

Posted on 7/22/2008 from CLEVELAND, OH UNITED STATES

Comments: This skimmer has proven every review that I read during my research, to be accurate. I am fairly new to the saltwater hobby, 3 months in, and I originally bought a cheaper skimmer because of the low price. I realize this mistake temporarily hurt my budget, as well as my new found pride! I have since searched every blog and review site, regarding skimmers, and decided that the Remora would be the best option for my 29g. By the skimmate this produces daily, it is proof that you get what you pay for. The only drawback that I have is that it is not as quiet as I would have preferred. Nevertheless, the noise from the nozzle is not overbearing by any means. The drain fitting is better to have and not need it, then to need it and not have it. And the pre-skimmer is a good tool to hide the pump, and also decrease the amount of micro-bubbles released back into the tank. I am very satisfied with this investment, and I am positive that I made the correct choice for my tank! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Posted on 6/19/2008 from PHENIX CITY, AL UNITED STATES

Comments: I started running this skimmer 24 hours after I added my live rock and sand. After about 2 hours of operation it is already collecting brown scum and foam in the collection cup. I wasn't expecting it to start working so fast. It's making a little bit of spraying noise, but the directions say the noise will get better after a week or two. If the noise doesn't improve, it's ok, because it really isn't that bad. So far I haven't seen many microbubbles at all, which is good of course. It was super easy to install. It has a small foot print and doesn't look tacky at all, I am very happy with it. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

AquaC Remora maxi jet 1200 by SILVANO PIFERI

Experience Level: Beginner

Posted on 5/12/2008 from BEL AIR, MD UNITED STATES

Comments: I just recently installed the skimmer and this being my first skimmer, my one complaint was with the instructions on how to install the maxi-jet 1200 pump. Once you figure it out, it can't get much easier. I would have loved for the instructions to have shown a generic picture of where the pump goes. Other than that, I've only had it running for a little over 1 day and have not run into any problems except for more air bubbles in the tank. But that is expected for the first couple of weeks. I look forward to working with this piece of equipment. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: This skimmer is great if you are looking for something with a small footprint and hang on. I have tried the SeaClone and Prizm with no luck and overflowing problems. Have had this set up for a week and it's already pulling in chunky gunk and brown water. I just wish the foam would be a little more dry as I my evaporation levels have increased since installation. It is noisy, but have noticed a difference from when I first installed it. I can't wait to see what this thing does when it is actually broken in. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

The good, bad, and iffy by Chris

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 4/4/2008 from ALBUQUERQUE, NM UNITED STATES

Comments: After about ten days of using my new AquaC Remora Protein Skimmer w/Drain fitting, Maxi-jet pump, and AquaC Surface Skimmer, The good thing about it is that it keeps the water clean. The bad thing about it is that the surface skimmer mounts are terrible and adjustability sucks. The iffy thing about this set up is that I can't get dry foam. This skimmer puts out so much foam with alot of water that if I hadn't gotten the drain fitting, my house would be flooded. I also have a ton of micro bubbles which this system is supposed to eliminate. Considering the cost of the AquaC system, I had hoped for better results. My reef/marine tank is 46 gallons and is 3 + years old. I guess most of the reviews I read before my purchase were from new start-up tanks. I had previously used a Sea clone 100 Protein skimmer and it was a high maintenance skimmer, but I didn't have the micro bubble problems I am now having. I would have to give a neutral recommendation to my friends about this system. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Ramora C is powerful by WHITNEY HENGESBACH

Experience Level: Intermediate

Comments: I've had the remora c on my 25 gallon for a few weeks now. It's putting out a lot of waste and the tank is new - only 100 days running. It's definately an agressive skimmer. i'm finding that it's output is a bit wet rather than dry. i've moved the cup higher in the cradle and it is sill pulling a bit too much water out. about 8-10 ounces every 24 hours. i'm hoping i can get it to produce a dryer output as i continue to raise the cup. regardless i would reccomend it. very powerful. whitney hengesbach Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Poor Instructions by JEFF BRIGGS

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 2/18/2008 from LINCOLN, NE UNITED STATES

Comments: I think the jury is still out for me on this skimmer...everything I've heard and read has been nothing but rave reviews. My first 48 hours of experience with this skimmer included two floods. The company needs to do a better job at explaining how to "break-in" this skimmer. You definately need to start at the absolute highest setting for the collection cup on this skimmer or you will have a flood like I did. The company's instructions do not state this. Get the drain fitting and use a 2 gallon bucket to begin with (until you get the collection cup height just right)...then migrate to a 2L bottle. I'm sure this skimmer will eventually perform well for me...just had a really really bad initial first experience with it myself Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Remora by JAMES FERGUSON

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 1/30/2008 from CANYON LAKE, TX UNITED STATES

Comments: Couldn't wait for the Remora to arrive, I was very impressed with the quality. After running the unit for a week+, I haven't noticed the noise issue some have attributed to the skimmer. Unfortunately, it has yet to produce anything beyond cloudy water and excess foam in the collection cup. Moving the collection cup throughout the adjustment range only produces more or less water in the cup. I've had outstanding success with AquacC' Rep Steve, but it appears I'll have to return the unit to AquaC for testing and replacement if it is defective. I will say, Steve at AquaC has been outstanding, and responded very quickly to all of my emails and offered a replacement immediately. As far as AquaC goes, you couldn't ask for more from a company in relation to service, but I really can't give a rating on the unit until I know I didn't get a defective unit. All I'd add is don't give up on this unit, everyone I've talked with has had nothing but great success and raved about AquaC. Once I've gone through the process I'll give my review of performance. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Posted on 12/12/2007 from ROSWELL, GA UNITED STATES

Comments: This this is doing its job great! Lots of nasty foam coming out very soon after install. But one word of caution. Keep it at its heighest level for a while to keep all the wet foam from pouring out of it faster than your container can handle or you'll have a mess, even with the drain attachment! But that was user error. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Aqua C Remora Pro by Ben

Comments: Excellent product! Easy to install and maintain. Its a bit loud when first installed but after about a week it does quite down. Be careful when first installing that you set the cup height high enough. I failed to do this the first night and it drained 4 gallons out of my tank onto the floor. For the first 48 hours I'd recommend draining directly back into the tank for safety, as it can initially produce a lot of watery skim very fast. Also take care not to over tighten the drain fitting or drop the cup, as it seems like it would crack easily. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

AquaC Remora HOT by STACEY ERVIN

Comments: This was extremely easy to set up. I like how it is low profile and the skimmate is not visible. The collection container is easy to empty. It seems to be a little noisy but it is new and the instructions said to give it a few weeks. I am happy with it. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: It started making thick slimy foam after a day of using it! I should have add the pre-skimmer in my order but I ordered the pre-skimmer afterwards anyway. I recommend to get the pre-skimmer with it which would complete the skimming process. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Aqua C Remora by DJM32189

Comments: Well, after a little confusion when ordering the skimmer and a few UPS boxes later, my Aqua C Remora finally arrived. It is modern looking, slim, black and easy easy to use. Now, after only 4 days, the skimmer pulls out almost a full cup of dark nasty skimmate from my 75 gallon FOWLR aggressive each day. Truly a much superior skimmer to the CPR bak-pak 2R that is on my coral tank! I love it! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Want dark skimmate? BUY THIS! by LizzieBee

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 8/21/2007 from ROLLA, MO UNITED STATES

Comments: I have a 29 gal. aquarium with 40 pounds of "premium" Figi liverock, a Nemateleotris magnifica, Elacatinus oceanops, and a Gobiodon atrangulatus. In otherwords, a tank of Gobies, with an additional 5 crabs and 5 snails. This protein skimmer produced skimmate within 6 hours of installing! Within 12 hours, it had alredy produced more skimmate than my Red Sea Berlin HO skimmer (which was only 4 months old!) had in A WEEK! The AquaC Remora is now (1 week later) already producing the yucky dark green skimmate which we've all grown to love! Another plus to this skimmer is the Maxi-Jet 1200 pump, which is much smaller, but seems better suited to the job than the Red Sea Berlin unit. As a result, it also looks better in the tank. Better water quality and better looking aquarium. I'm happy, happy, happy! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Lusty black little filter by nemo

Comments: I have a 20 gal semi-nano. This thing rocks ! I don't have too much skimmer experience, but I went from skimmerless to this skimmer and it was just amazing. Within 48 hours, this skimmer had my water CRYSTAL clear. It produced fantastic skimmate and all of my corals immediately looked better, had improved polyp extension, etc. Its compact so its easy to get it on the back of your tank. Nothing but good things to say .. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

aqua c by RICHARD SMITH

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 8/8/2007 from central TX

Comments: After the nightmare of using the Seaclone skimmers I decided to try the Aqua C. This is a good skimmer. It is very quiet, in fact I cannot hear it running. It removes a lot of gunk from the water. The drain fitting is great and well worth the extra money. The instructions are hard to understand at first, however, the skimmer 's performance makes up for this slight hindsight. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Couldn't be happier by Larry

Comments: After 2 years of nearly maintenance free use, the Remora has done an excellent job on my 37 g reef (total volume includng sump is 44 gallons). The drain fitting is well worth the few extra $$. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Good buy by Reefnut

Comments: The skimmer is pretty good, however, I think it's a bit over-rated w/its efficiency. The draining fitting was a great add. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Good Skimmer by Steve

Comments: Using this on a 75 gal tank cycling with uncured live rock. Working well. Havent had it long, so I only gave a 4. Time will tell if it is enough for the higher tank size they advertise (75g). Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
