AquaC Remora Installed in JBJ28G HQI
I got a used AquaC Remora skimmer today and promptly got to modding it to fit on my JBJ 28G HQI.
I had read somewhere it was possible to fit an AquaC Remora with a Maxi-Jet 1200 in the stock skimmer location but had no instructions. This is what I came up with - I don't think it can be done any other way and still fit. I highly recommend a Dremel if you are going to to this. The first thing I did was remove the top housing cover. It is just for cosmetic purposes anyway. The cord takes up some room so I cut out a new relief for the cord. The intake had me the most concerned. In order to get it to fit I cut off about 1/8 inch or so from the entire intake. Next, I fashioned some standoffs to keep the pump from sucking up against the glass, and took another 1/4 inch or so off. The stock tubing that came with mine was a little too short so I put a slightly longer piece of tubing on. This gives you enough flex to maneuver the pump around and get it in the chamber. Once it was in, I turned it on and added a gallon or so of salt water - working great! Here are a few shots of it on the tank. |

Kool. I have a AquaC Remora Pro Protein Skimmer \ Rio 1400 on my 12g AquaPod. It works great.

Awesome instructions! I just did this mod. I did take a mm or 2 off of the top of the housing where the cover used to snap on. It seems a little easier to get in/maneuver.
Thanks! |

Why not just use the Remora nano? Or IS that the remora nano?

Is it still skimming well after lengthening the hose between the pump and skimmer? I cut my hose and barb fitting shorter in order to get it to skim better.
