    Yes! That is the right one...Sometimes you can't make the decision based on the price alone! IMO, I would have gone with the Remora!
    Not that Coralife is a bad product...just prefer the Remora based on what it does for my tank!

    AMEN on that one, since I started mine it has been removing all kinds of stuff, and I only gave $169.00 for it. That is chump change compared to some of the prices I looked at. The plug and play is what got me.

    After going back and forth with different skimmersin mind, I sized up a Turbofloater 1000w/2700 Ocean Runner pump! Fits nice in my sump and also is a work horse. Pulls out some excelent skimate Brown to Black foam.

    It works best if you don,t add the 2 adjustable caps that it comes with.
    Plumb a line directly from the drain and there you go. As far as micro bubbles coming out from the 2 tubes, I just regulate the outflow of the skimmer where you can see about 3/4 of water running through the 2 tubes that are attached to the skimmer body.

    Excellent choice for my money. Marine Depot!
