Skimmer help needed
Ive been out of the saltwater hobby for a few years and am finally getting back into it. Im setting up my standard 75 gal tank. It will be setup for softies. My question is what is a good HOB skimmer? Local salt store i dealt with in the past is reccomending an aquamax skimmer. Im wondering what everyones opinion is and what other options do I have besides what they carry. I was looking at the remora skimmer? Any thoughts on it as well?
Thaks in advance Rob |

I love my Deltec.... Customer service has been known to be bad on it though. It pulls so much though and is idiot proof
