Which skimmer?

[Asbury030]

Ok I want a good skimmer that will work unlike my SeaClone.
So my question is which one would be better for my 29g. a Bakpak 2R or Aqua C Remora.

Aqua C Remora IMO, I have one and I love it!

Hi,

I would have to agree that the Aquac Remora is much more powerful then Bakpak. The Bakpak would do a nice job on a 29 gallon tank though, really pretty powerful up to 40 gallon. The Aquac naturally would be great on a 29 gallon too and could go up to a 55 pretty easily.

thanks

Which one works better I want to get the best i can get under 200

I have the skum on the top of my water also so would i have to buy the preskimmer box?

hi,

if you want the best i would go AquaC Remora. If you have the budget, it's worth the money. I would go surface skimmer to help get rid of that skum, and/or using a powerhead or coarse air stone to break up the surface water.

thanks

I have the surface skimmer for the remora, and so far it has not done its job . It does however provide one to place eather chemicals or calcium blocks in the return area, and it does get rid of the microbubbles.

If i got the skimmer box for the MJ wouldnt it be too big for the tank?

 

[jasonfrey]

the MJ box would fit your tank. That is a drawback though, it looks pretty large in the tank, but also hides the pump, so blends in a little better.

Do you have the dimensions of the MJ box?
