AquaC CLUB!

[zoltetov]

With as fine a product as Jason puts out, he needs some loving too! I love my remora. I know it's been getting bashed on these boards of late, but that little thing rocks. (Plus, I feel left out and I wanna be part of a club! ) There's gotta be other aquaC lovers out there too!

[pavster]

Love mine!

LOL!..I guess 2 outta 3 aren't bad! What models do you have? For those that have awesome crud build-up, what are your tricks?

[Reefvet]

I'm running an original Remora, 2 Remora Pros, an Urchin and an EV-180. Awesome skimmers!

[argi]

EV180 and an EV240 here. They worked great for me! Highly recommended.

I finally decided that my lee's small cc skimmer just aint cuttin it.
(20 long tank) just order the remora w/ mj 1200. its in transit now and out for delivery. so Im a soon to be club member! cant wait to get home from work. I'd like to hear some tricks for crud exportation.

I use a EV120 and love it. I have removed the air intake ball valve so that the skimmer can pull as much air as possible. I also changed the pump to using an Eheim 1260 pump. I get really nasty coffee color skimmage from this setup. I also have it mounted outside my sump as of right now. I am getting about 8oz of skimmage every two to three days. Though I am about to rework my plumbing and hope to give the skimmer pump more raw overflow water, so hopefully that will increase the amount of skimmage I am producing.

I have the older EV150 model. Love it. It is a bit underpowered for my total setup (240g), but working in partnership with my macro algae does a great job IMO.

[zoltetov]

I've actually been considering upgrading my standard remora to a 120 or 180. I had one for a different set-up that i was going to sell, so I sold the 180, but now I'm regretting it since I'd tune it in for my 46. I used to get think coffee colored skimmage from my remora. Since i switched it over, the skimmage is lighter. I might be running a light bioload though. hmmm.

[Entropy]

Mine is always a nasty dark brownish/green (very stinky).

[artilespm]

I have the EV120 for a while now. No regrets so far.

[Sugar Magnolia]

My Remora has been running like a champ for about 15 months.

[Methamphetareef]

I have an EV-180 plumbed externally on a 125 mixed reef.

I did change the pump from the recommended Mag 7 to a Mag 9.5 and it performs well.

Fills the collection cup up to the drain fitting on the first day after cleaning.

I have a EV-400 on a 250g system, I like it. dont love it. It does its job. hard to keep the foam consistant. I might want to try a ER same size... but at 600- 700 a clip maybe I'll keep it..

like I said it does a good job on the 250g but very inconsistant.

[sting_ray]

So far I have been very happy with my Aqua C Remora.

I have an AquaC EV-120 and I love it.

However, I didn't always love it. My injector was calcified for a long time and I never figured out why the skimming performance was so bad. Also, I used to have it mounted in my sump and the water level would rise too high.

Now that I have it plumbed externally with a PVC pipe returning the flow to the sump, it is very quiet and pulls lots of great skimmate without any fuss.

I have pics of my setup in my gallery if anyone wants to see how I plumbed the return.

Ditto on that one!

[Reefvet]

I think it's a healthy sign that so many are being honest and pointing out that they're not in love with inanimate objects. Your therapists will be so proud.

[zoltetov]

is it more acceptable that we're in love with animate objects that only recognize our total existance as being a source of food?

[menace]

wow. so I finally hooked up the new remora on wednesday night. it was spilling lots of bubbles back into the display that night and the following day/night. got up this morning (36 hours later) to find foam coming out the hole on the top lid. I pulled the collection cup out, and it was full!. skimate was watery brown tea like, and had some stench to it. this was on the lowest setting of the cup. after I emptied the cup, I raised it like 3/4-1" and left for work.

I ran a remora pro with a mag 7 for a year on a 55. I celebrated the day I got some poor sap to buy it

So we should all note your user name and anxiously wait for your posts in the for sale forum knowing that you're an honest and ethical seller when you list something and say it works great ?

Or was their another point to your post ?

I'm running an in-sump EV-120 on a 120g bare bottom SPS tank and so far it has not disappointed me.
I do however have it tee'd off of my sump return pump with a gate valve to control the flow. If I had to guess, the flow is probably in the 700-800 gph range. That being said, I would think the recommended Mag 5 would be underpowered for this skimmer.
I do use a 100 micron filter sock on the gate valve output cause with the increased flow, you end up with microbubbles.

I told the guy when he bought it that I was unhappy with it and I was going to setup a sump and buy a quality skimmer.

Remember the Remora Pro is considered by many to be the best HOB skimmer you can buy. I just personally thought it was WAYYYYYYYYYY overrated.
