 | Just Fired Skimmer Up, Does This Look Right? |
lil_mikey69  Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3180 Kudos: 2380 Votes: 1 Registered: 22-Jan-2003   | Skimmer users come in. I just turned on my Remora Pro, I just want to make sure I have it set up ideally. I've never used a skimmer before, but I think I have it how it should be, I'm not sure though. If you have suggestions, please let me know. Remora in Action Remora 2 Remora 3 Please leave me some feedback! |

I've since moved the collection cup up, in hopes of it only collecting darker foam instead of water. The water is an icky yellow/brown color, so its sorta doing its job. Way wetter than I want it though. |
