    I'm in the process of setting up a 55 gallon frag tank. I'm looking at protein skimmers and the Aqua C Remora is what I'm going to go with.

    The Nano is recommended for tanks up to 25 Gallons, and the Regular version is rated for tanks up to 75.

    I only really plan on having a clean up crew, and corals in the tank, so a fairly low bioload.

    The difference in price of the two skimmers is only $30.

    Which one would you get, and why?

    i would spend the extra money as this always allows an upgrade. Also, i have a 55 frag tank with nothing but corals and a snail and i might add a fish, but i dont even have a skimmer on mine.
