I have an AquaC Remora skimmer! On my main tank I upgraded to a Reef Octopus though.

how about

A German Sanders skimmer with an air stone.
With suction cups that never lasted
How about a Aqualogic power head....
with all of the pump portion being out of the water because nothing was water proof

Dirk is old!

And old enough to have know the source for this thread. But that's not it!

I'm still using an ETSS1000. Nothing compares. Current skimmers are all a version of needlewheel that require tweaking and monitoring. Use barely any energy but don't come close to mine for skimming power and quality.
