Aqua C Remora Pro

this thing is making me mad, i bought it off of a friend in my reef club and he had the mag 3 hooked up to it and a mag 7 in the sump for his nintey gallon, well when i bought it off of him i coulnt get my overflow and sump to match (i had to restrict the pump with a ball valve so much it made the pump noisey) so i put the 3 from the PS and the 7 on the skimmer, the problem is when i had the 3 on the skimmer it sucked alot of water into it, and now all i have is a 7 for it, i have read about many people using 7s on their remoras and getting good skim but i dont see how, i have the collection cup all the way up and i still get way to much water in it....so what do i do..like i said even with the mag3 it was a little much do i need a mag2 or something or am i doing something wrong

For starters, the Remora is designed as a hang on skimmer. You should NOT run it off the overflow. And you should NOT restrict flow from a pump by directly attaching a ball valve. Just get a Mag3, hang it off the back of your tank, and all will be well.

srry it might have of come off that way but i was talking about the sump there for a second, the ball valve is used on the sump and that is only slightly, and the skimmer is HOB i know his, im just saying when i had the 3 it would still suck up alot of water, and what i dont understand is how did other people get the mag7 to work when i had issuses with a 3?

occasionaly i will throw in essential elements but thats once in a blue moon...maybe that has something to do with it? i heard stress coat messes with it...hmm...idk i guess just let it run and empty it, and while im not home just leave it off and let it run while im home?

its crazy looking...i mean in lookslikea wall of millions of bubbles and its soo powerful...the same thing happened with the mag3 just not quite as bad...the cup isnt filling up quite as much but its still "wet" ..i guess on the bright side nemo loves it!
