    I am trying to choose between a cpr backpack and remora skimmer,noise is a factor as I have two tanks in my kind of small living room.Any feedback from people with personal experience with these would be much appreciated. Thanks,Dave

    Thanks,Ive read a lot of good things about the BAK PAK and also the REMORA,but what I really was wondering is,which one is quieter or is either of them unusually loud.

    FWIW if quality is a factor I'd go Remora ;)

    OKay i actually did a test of both skimmers, i had both skimmers going for about a year and did a two week test to see which one was better, crp bak pak 2r with mj1200 and remora with mj1200, first two days where close after that the remora killed the crp. Both great skimmers HoB wise but remora gets the edge
