Hi everyone,
Decision to make. I need 2 protein skimmers. 1 for a 26gal Bowfront with approx 40lbs LR, 3" sandbed, which I'd like to try corals in. New to corals so I want easy to care for corals that I can learn with and not do too much damage to these great creatures.
The other is a 20g tall FOWLR tank, 3" sandbed.
Both tanks have ocean water from Robert Moses beach and both get a 5 gallon WC every Sunday. Both have chemical filtration with carbon and phosban only. Both have powerheads (26g Askoll PH802, 20g is a Penguin 170gph).
I'm thinking of an Aqua C Remora for the 26g. Is this a good choice or is there something better? I don't know about the 20g, but I don't want to spend a fortune! The Remora is $165 new. If anyone has one lying around I'd love to pick it up! lol
I really would like some opinions here. I don't have a sump on either, (no room right now) so a HOT is pretty much what I'm limited to.
Thanks everyone for the help and suggestions.

PS Love the :tank:! I'm a tanker in the National Guard (hence the handle) and I think that tanker is the BOMB! LOL
