trumph Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I wanted to use a HOB skimmer on a 20L sump because I didn't want to lose the space needed for an in-sump model and the Remora Pro seemed to fit my needs the best. Wanted to use all available space for live rock/chaeto/sand etc. to encourage pod growth/propogation in order to feed a certain fish (don't want to alert any police yet!) on a 20L that's already been running for 9 months. So I asked a queston about the Remora models on AquaC's web site and I have posted their response in case anyone is considering the same. Response & Post: Hi Ed, Thanks for the message, I can help you out. The Remora Pro actually needs a tank height of 15.25" high, so this is quite a bit higher than your 20L. If you have room in your sump, I would suggest going with the Urchin Pro. Otherwise, we could do a "custom" skimmer, which would involve either shortening a standard Remora to fit on a 12" tank, or leaving off the levelling screws, so that the Remora or Remora Pro could stand outside of the sump. Let me know what you think, and I can let you know the details. Thanks again! Steve Prince Customer Service Manager AquaC, Inc. 7949 Stromesa Ct., Ste.

Your installation specs for the Remora HOB models state that they need 12.75" of tank height. I was looking to use the Pro model on a 20L sump which is only 12" high. Can the unit be modified to work on a 20L? or can I simply pad out the lip of my tank to accommodate the skimmer? Thanks in advance, Ed ###### Pic of future refugium..the.tank is over 20 years old so please excuse the scratches. Link to comment
