    Tunze 9002 are worth their weight in gold! I got one and it started producing dark skimmate first day. If it fits your tank, I say spend the extra money.

    The tunze will fit but you have to notch the back of the hood assembly to clear the collection cup.

    I have the Aqualife 115 in my sump now and it does a very good job. Just make sure you have room for it.

    I love it it does a good job, ill take a picture of the skimmate it produces tomorrow. Its a little loud but its not overwhelming. I have it in a canopy and it doesnt bother me. I highly recommend it. Heres a video i ran across when researching it. this might help you out.

    Ok so I'm thinking I'm going to get the AquaC Remora. Does it make a lot of noise? My tank is in my room so that's an issue I have to worry about
