What pump do you use with the Precision Marine Hot-1 hang on skimmer? It seems like this would be the best skimmer under $200 for a 40 - 55 gal reef, what do you think? Do you like it better than the AquaC Remora?
hi.
If I remember correctly, the HOT-1 use Rio 800 RVT as pump. You may be able to use MaxiJet with venturi mod. Please correct my memory if I am wrong.
I looked at both and decided to go with the remora pro with a mag 3. The remora design is just more overflow/floodproof than the hot-1. Just do a search on the board to see how many hot-1's have flooded (due to a clogged venturi, snail covering output). If you do decide to go with the hot-1, purchase the optional ($80) waste collector to prevent a flood.
Neofish,
I'm using the Hot-1 hang on in my sump. As Seven Ephors mentions, I'm using a MaxiJet 1200 venturi instead of the Rio 800. Ditto Yellow-Dog on the waste collector. One of the best $80 purchases I've made.
