Ok Skimmer guys, I need to buy a HOB skimmer for my 90g. I was leaning towards a Remora Pro, but someone told me the the Coralife Super Skimmer 125 was better. What do you guys think or would you recommend another skimmer. Tanks going to be FOWLR and I will be running a wet/dry/sump.

That may be an option, If i go that route , what do you guys recommend for a skimmer that will fit in a 10g sump with a mag 7. Water from the main tank will flow into the wetdry then into the 10g sump and back to the main tank.

a needlewheel skimmer would probably work well. i did build a small beckett that is being run with a mag5 on a 100 gallon reef with success (even though some people will tell you not to use mag drive pumps on beckett skimmers)

Just an option but Deltec also makes several HOB skimmers with the MCE600 the best option in this case. It uses an Aquabee pump and needlewheel, the exact same pump setup as their introductory in sump skimmer the AP600.
Hope that helps,
John
