Aqua C remora pro

[jmello8402]

Hello all,

I am new to the hobby and started with a 16 gallon Biocube and became hooked! I upgraded to a 55 after 6 months and i am completely obsessed. My question today is I am being offered an old Aqua C remora Pro for my biocube. Through my research the Aqua C was the go to HOB skimmer 10+ years ago. Does anyone today still run one on their system or are the newer HOB that much better? Any insight to this matter will be greatly appreciated.

55 gallon tank (sumpless)
Fluval 407

Has the mag 3 pump with it as well

they work for a while but you really need to keep that injector clean and i found it a PIA back in the day. I also did not like the pump in the tank.

You would be better served getting an Aquamaxx HOB 1.5 or Reef Octo HOB

they are pretty coveted since the company went under, how good of shape is it in and what's the price?

Thank you for the replies guys!!!

Great shape with an oversized collection cup $75… said he was running it 2 months ago without issue… my thoughts were to run it until I can find an Aquamaxx 1.5 HOB that seem to be out of stock everywhere

Id pay $75 for it… you can sell it for more than that on eBay/here when your done!

Maybe I should list mine. I have two different sizes just sitting.

Depends on price they're selling... I used it on 93 cube and upgraded when I noticed it wasn't keeping up. For 16G it should be fine. In my sump, I used a manifold to feed the Aqua C

Me too! I have 3 of them... :D
