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! :D) There's gotta be other aquaC lovers out there too!
 
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?
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.:smokin:
 
is it more acceptable that we're in love with animate objects that only recognize our total existance as being a source of food? :)
