that skimmer is a big mombasa, it was made by the same guy that makes the excalibur line of skimmers. this was his first line of skimmers( i believe he had made a deal with coralife to produce those skimmers for them but it fell through so he started making the excalibur line of skimmers) its not a bad skimmer and it will handle a 50 nicely, he has made improvements to the skimmer i.e. larger output tubes, but the big mombasa'a worked quite well for smaller tanks.

 

I've never seen this skimmer so please keep us posted with feedback if you decide to get it 00nothing. TIA

 

which skimmer

Hello Everyone, I'm A Newbie To Sw. I Had A Cichlid Tank For 5yrs And I Am Finally Starting My Sw. My Question Is Which Skimmer Is The Preffered. I Have 4 In Mind, They Must Be Hob. I Have A 55g Which I Will Eventually Add A Few Corals.

Excalibur
Aqua C Remora
Coralife Super Skimmer
Cpr Bak Pak


Please Help.

 

I use the prizm pro deluxe the bigger version up to 300g. I like and it's always skimming.

 

I'm a remora fan and have 2 of them. They are basically set and forget. If you get the remora, upgrade to the Rio 1400+ pump which pumps at 425 gph vs the maxijet 1200 at 296 gph.

 

I would go with the Aqua C Remora. It is very powerful and besides the fact that I own one and love it, it is easy to use and removes alot of detritus.
The next time you should open up another thread for your question. I went into your thread but saw a few posts about is this skimmer any good? dated back to October of 2004. I thought there was a mistake and almost didn't continue down to find your thread/post...Just to help ya in the future.

 

thanks
