Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Do you know how?
I don't. I've never operated a Remora unfortunately.

@00W or @tharbin Remora experience? Trying to increase flow to the skimmer for a wetter skim for better nutrient export? It looks like the cup can be lowered in the body potentially? Or is it only the pump speed?

I had one about twenty years ago and don't know what changes were made over the years. If I remember right, there was a O-Ring-type band around the collection cup that allowed you to raise or lower the cup in the body. You could also change the pump but I never tried that.

Overall it is a good HOB skimmer but takes a little time to get dialed in. I also don't know how well it will work if the tank is being treated with Fluconazole.
 
well I didn't;t want to and I know you guys are going to give me slack for it but I bought a Kenya. It was just so bright. I needed something glowing in the back corner. The Tube Anemone is still overpowering in fluorescence though. of course it was an awkward angle to reach in so I got a bit of glue streamer there.
