SKIMMER Recommendation: Red Sea Rrizm Deluxe vs AquaC Remora

by blueshoes2208

yeah i am finding that the underneath of my tank has no room for a sump, and i dont really want to get complicated, i am doing a fish only app for the 70 gal, what are you guys' recommendations for a skimmer that doesnt require a sump?

have you looked at that rapids system i linked to you? it has a skimmer in it and you don't have to buy the auto top off system................. it's pretty compact, i'd still use the eihim canister with it as well .....just a thought

AquaC is an awsome lookin rig too...............

from what ive read, a fish only tank usually needs alot of skimming... this is because people tend to buy a bunch of fish for these systems.

my tank is a 55 FOWLR system, and i bought a skimmer rated for 100gallons. its just a seaclone skimmer. but it works well for me.
