40 gal hot skimmer?

[Beowulff83]

Hi I am looking/will be looking for a hang on tank skimmer for my 40 gal. Looking into the aqua c remora or maybe the octopus hot.

First, is there any other good hot's out there?

Second, What are some good web sites to find theese guys at? to possibly buy from or compare prices from my lfs.

AquaC all the way for me....A good place to start looking for skimmer comparisons is www.marinedepot.com ....the info/descriptions available are usually pretty good...

I have the aqua c with the rio pump. Only had it about 2 weeks, but seems to be working good. The only problem I had with it was it was skimming water at first so I raised the collection cup, then when I thought it had calmed down I lowered the cup. That night it skimmed about 4 gallons of water onto my floor. The wife was not to happy with me the next day!

ive had the remora pro with mag 3 pump on my 75 gal for a few years now and its definetly a good skimmer. my tank is pretty lightly stocked i have the collection cup raised as high as i can and have to empty it about every 8 or 9 days.
