Like Skippy2 I also have an Aqua C Remora and love it. My tank is in the corner of my room and the Remora is a bit on the loud side. I can, and have, slept through a natural disaster so the noise doesn't bother me but I could see it bothering some.

I have Aqua C Remora Pro w/ Mag 3 & pre skimmer box. It's a little bulky but I love it. Works great.
This was the most suggested skimmer when I asked for advice prior to purchasing. |

I owned a Remora Pro with a Mag 5. I worked well for me. Not great but well.

Whats the trick to getting a Mag 5 hooked up to the Remora Pro? I have the Remora Pro, but opted to get it with the Rio 1400. Now, I'm having second thoughts and I think I would like to rid myself of any future potential issues by replacing the Rio. The Rio hooks up to the Pro with 3/4" ID tubing. Doesn't the Mag 5 have a 1/2" outlet? |

I wouldn't bother with a skimmer box either. From what I understand it takes up too much real estate in the tank.
