Hi,

Thanx.

Can recommend height of the water?

Thanx.

Water height should not be too much concern for Remora since its spray injection technique.

What's the flowrate of the 4000 weipro pump?

Try adjusting the black rubber band on the collection cup to drier or watery skimate. Tha lower the rubber band, the higher the cup goes = drier skimate.

Cheers

Pump rated 2900l/hr.

think ur pump used is overrated for the remora. check out eaquanature for the recommended pump. i think should be the sicce idra, flowrate is abt 1300L/Hr. I hv ever make enquiries to Edmund on the pump used. Edmund told me that using a overrated pump might not give u the best results.

Edmund, any advise? i can adjust the flow of the pump but need a guide on the optimum water level.

Thanx.

btw, bro odi, i dun own a remora, at least not as yet...... but i did ask edmund on using a sicce extrema on a remora b4...... and he said no way!!!

[jc85]

I've ever wrote in to Aquac on some technical issues and was told that Extrema can be used with Remora Pro. Not sure if Remora is ok tot. Maybe you want to ask your friend to write in to check with them. Their email is available on their website.

Will try adjusting the rubber band and monitor. Thanx for all the advise.

Extrema is way ovverated for Remora. For Remora, either use Maxijet 1200 or IDRA.

Drier skimmate can be derived by following jc85's answer in respect of cup adjustment.

I'm not sure what water level has to do with Remora here as it is totally independent from the tank water height.
