I'm gonna post some pics tomorrow or the day after of skimmate that I collected on my "worthless" remora in a 10 hr period.
I really would like to see anything besides a higher end skimmer like a tunze or deltec outperform the remora or whatever hob you guys are pushing so hard. The remora shows up used at under a $100 here almost daily. The bermuda is 3x's as much new and no one will put up pics of performance. At the same time there are a bunch of reviews (positive and negative) on the deltec hob models.
Given that this hobby is supposed to be fun, what do you equipment pushers expect? You guys can find more negative experiences with the Typhoon in the last year than the remora. Really, every time the Remora comes up you guys are the most vocal. What does that say?
I will admit that the remora hob pretty much sucks. Ihaven't been convinced by you guys that I should by a comparably priced skimmer, upgrade the pump, hacksaw the body, add a needlewheel, and consider a gate valve over just buying a skimmer with those features standard. My problem being that none of those features justified the price tag. $5.00 worth of changes to already under-performing in sump skimmers wound up arguing HOB skimmers which cost more engineering hours to perfect..

im having a hard time deciding between the remora pro, turboflotor 1000 multi, coralife super skimmer, and the bak pak 2R+.
for a 35-50 gallon tank...i want to order it and my lights but cant decide on a HOT/HOB skimmer

:lol: Bermuda. I have never seen a company shoot themselves in the foot so bad. The only thing I have heard is a rep sounding real cocky, claiming the skimmer is the best thing since sliced bread. Since then they have fallen off the face of the planet. Something tells me these people with this skimmer "will be in contact" for a few more months. I dont care if it is the best skimmer in the world. The Customer Service sucks! There I said it.

Yes, i would say bermuda has dropped the ball in customer service at this point in time. I'm very disapointed as it could be the best hot skimmer out there but no one will get one if they won't reply back to you. There's been two guys in there forum that asked questions about the rogue and still nothing.....two weeks later. Pretty sad.
yeah, I told them that I bought a Tunze instead. Tunze has shown interest in their customers. Guess what kind of response we got? Apologies for not helping and not coming around? Of course not, its Bermuda! The same cocky responses spew from the place. Response was good luck with the Tunze I hear they clog and have less contact time! I can't believe these people.
