Cmoore Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Hi all I am looking to upgrade my skimmer. I have a Remora nano on my 30g tank now and I am sure I have out grown it. I have been looking at this one for some time... http://www.marinedepot.com/AquaMaxx_HOB_1_Hang_On_Back_Protein_Skimmer_Hang_On_Venturi_Needle_Wheel_Protein_Skimmers-AquaMaxx-UJ1151-FIPSHONW-vi.html looks like it is on sale at the moment for 179.99 anyone have any experience with them or something to recommend over the Aqamax?

Mandinga Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I've never seen that skimmer, sorry. I personally like the swc hang on skimmer...if you have the room. Lots of people use the aqua c skimmer with success... Good luck Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grassi Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 How did you outgrown a nano remora on a 30g? Are you keeping sps and they are touching the glass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmoore Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 Well considering it's rated for 25 gal tank... I was overgrown the second I put it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have enjoyed the aquaC but it is loud and really I want to get a skimmer with a pump that is not in the tank. It has worked well for the year I have had it but I think it's time to upgrade. Plus getting new tank gadgets is always fun. Have a good weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grassi Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Feed it with a 1200 and it will work well up to 50g. I think that even with the 900 will serve properly a 30g. It is noisy, other than that a great HOB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangov559 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 there is a simple mod to greatly decrease the noise level...do a quick google search...i used a paper towel....mines had minimal noise and my tank was in my room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
