    Hi guys
    I found a remora pro, 2 months old, for the same price of a new remora. Should i buy it? My aquarium size is a 25G...

    Would it be too strong for the tank size? I heard that there is never a too strong skimmer. The stronger, the better.

    Anyways, what do you guys think?

    IF you know you are going to upgrade the tank to a big one at some point, it's not a bad idea. But I've had both and used the smaller one on my 20 hex. The Remora Pro is huge in comparison. It will take more room and require a bigger pump.

    So you think that i can use it for a 25 G?
    For the pump, yeah i will ask the guy if it comes with it
    I have a maxijet 1200 at home but that was rate for the remora and i dont think its going to be enough for the remora pro.

    Yeah you can use it, but like I said, I would just get a Remora unless you are getting a bigger tank. Especially since you already have a MaxiJet which is what the Remora runs on.

    i dont think of getting a bigger tank for the moment... maybe later on if everything is going well.
    Thanks a lot

    The remora pro comes with the mag 350 pump for the same price as the ordinary remora.

    for the same price as a new remora with maxijet 1200
