I've never been a real fan of aquaC skimmers. I think the remora is okay for a small tank, maybe 30 gallons or so, but not much more. Lots of people, mostly aquaC owners, will probably disagree. You can lower the collection cup; probably you just have to move the big rubber o-ring up further, and you might get a little more skimmate. That's about the only adjustment.

i have the remora pro version and it rocks w/ a mag5. i used to have the small remora and i too didn't like it a bit, was to hard to adjust and mess with in my opinion!!!!

try cleaning or getting a new maxi 1200 pump. the pre-skimmer box does help to pull water off of the surface. or maybe you just dont have a large bio-load.

How long has your Remora been on the tank? Have you clean out the injector port (remove that white plastic screw)?
