first let me thank everyone here, there is alot of usefull information here that has help me with my setup. Now i finally got some $$ for my skimmer. but i'm undecided between the turboflotor 1000 multi and the remora hang-on. please help me decide. here are the facts:

72g tank
20g DIY refugium with mag 9.5
40lbs of live rock(will be adding another 40 in a few weeks)

the skimmer must be able to setup outside of the refugium or hang-on. the hight of the refugium is 12.5".

don't think i haven't done my reading here in the forums, i have done searches and most people prefer the remora skimmer. but i haven't found many people using the t1000, but is a 5 star rated as the remora. in marine depot website.

now my question is, will the remora will be enough since i have 72g on main and 20 in refugium. and the remora is rated for 75g unless i go with the remora pro. and the t1000 is rated for 50-225 galons.

I like them both, I have a TF t1000 multi on my 90, hanging on the sump, and a remora on my 40....I don't think I would trust just the remora on a 75....the T1000 is a great skimmer, but needs to be tweaked fairly often to function to its full potential. the remora is easy, but a bit underrated on a 75 in my opinion, i think the remora pro would be a better option on a 75....but they are both good skimmers, the t1000 really needs to go in a sump to work properly though.
