     |  Remora VS Turboflotor
My Remora seemed to be like blowing through a tiny mixing straw into a bucket. It didn't do much. After a recent algae bloom, I said enough and ordered up an Aqua Medic Turboflotor multi.
Holy smokes.
Suddenly the $80 difference in price between the two seems really justified.
That Turboflotor has a 6" diameter tube! I just hooked it up. It's solid white with bubbles.

I'm sure it will kick ass over your Remora. I've seen that skimmer at work at my LFS and its a beast. By the way Matt, I cleaned the injector spray nozzle on my Remora and trashed the maxijet pump for a Via Aqua 1300 pump (370gph) and it made a big difference and is skimming much better now. _________ 75g reef with Nova Extreme 8 bulb HO T-5 lighting, refuge, Remora skimmer, DSB, Seio powerheads, Acro's, LPS corals, assorted zoo's & mushrooms, Yellow Tang, Maroon Clown, Blue Cleaner Goby , Cleaner, Fire and Sexy Shrimp, Coco Worm, T.Crocea Clam, Derasa Clam

Post a pic of that bad boy with the needlewheel impeller in action! You've peaked my interest in getting my Turbfloater going. Problem is, unlike dano, my Seaclone is a skimming beast in it's own right! _________ Just tryin to recreate God's perfection in a glass bowl. 20 Gallon Reef W/Live Rock, mated pair of Maroon Clowns, Softies, 110 watts PC 10,000k lighting, and skimmer.  | |
