    I'm still leaning toward an external skimmer to allow more flexibility in the sump...

    thoughts?

    Considering the following external skimmers:

    ETSS Super Reef Devil
    Precision Marine Bullet 1
    Aqua C EV-180
    Turboflotor 1000 Multi

    Any other suggestions...or feedback on which is best

    I have heard only good things about all those.
    Craig has a Turboflotor
    Captive reefs has the Aqua C and we get 6% off that price which is cool.

    The euroreef does come in an external model. It takes bout 2-3 weeks to have built. The prices for the euroreefs are also going up real soon. If it were me I would get the AquaC. It has the best customer service/support and is a rockin skimmer.  

    Hey Nautilus Did you mean captivereefs? ;D

    I have nothing but good things to say about the Tubofloter 1000 Multi. Darin aka Captivereefs will not steer you wrong on the AquaC.

    I just got my AquaC Remora from Darin and I'm happy with it so far. It's pretty much a stupid proof skimmer. That's good for me. You just pop it out the box and plug it in.

    I have had my Aqua-C Urchin (sump model of Remora) for about a week,and I could not be happier.If the remora performs like this one, Wow. Darin From CAPTIVEREEFS.COM hooked me up and in an almost sailor proof set up (put in sump, turn on) I can't believe the efficiency of this unit. My review comming soon.
