Best hang on protein skimmer?

[Tri Bui]

I am looking for the best hang on protein skimmer for a 75g tank, easy to use and clean. If anyone had used any of it before please give advice. CPR, Aqua C ect...

 

Thanks

If you do choose a remora for a 75, I'd got with a Remora Pro + mag3 (that's what I had on my 75)

 

I honestly was never really happy with it, seems like most other folks are though.

I'm running the remora pro now and it's doing a pretty bang up job, waaaaay better than a cpr, I also had success with the berlin hang on skimmer

I'm using remora's on both my tanks (both with the mj and the overflow box) and IMO they do a great job.

Have you considered Deltec Skimmers? The MCE600 is a really nice skimmer that requires very low maintenance, however a bit pricey...

No recommendations but I did a mod to my cpr cyclone sump skimmer that will work with any cpr backpak or skimmer that uses maxi jets with the venturi attachment. You remove the venturi with airline that sticks in the input, drill a hole in the side of the inflow just big enough to put a airline nipple, attach the airline to the nipple, adjust bubbles. This mod made the skimmer work 4X better. I also did this mod to a maxi-jet that was attached to a CPR overflow to pull out any air buildup. I'm sure a lot of people have heard of this but just wanted to make sure.

Jason, I think you can buy them at most LFS. I had some straight airline couplers that i just cut one end off. Have you heard of or tried this mod yet?

Grope buy?

Group buy?

 

 

I think that's illegal everywhere but Nevada.

I think if we get far enough offshore, US laws don't apply. We could also get some fishing done.

I'm pretty sure he was joking, but I walked right into it. Anyways, here's a link to the mod:

I did this mod on my CPR cyclone sump/filter with the built-in skimmer.
