i currently have a hob aqua C remora and I am looking to upgrade to a bubble magus curve 5. Has anyone used one of these skimmers? Any pros and cons?
 
Although I've never used one, I had researched them a while back and they seem to get pretty good reviews.
 
Picked it up Friday. It's a work horse.

Awesome...congrats.
 
JOY!! I have one on order for my new build. I need to start putting in the baffles for the sump, how deep do you have the water set at? i read that it likes 8-9 inches.
 
8 or 9 inches has been too deep for my system. I had it at 8 inches and it would overflow while set wide open. At one point the bubble plate may have been 1" deep and it would send head all the way to the cup set on 1. It was so shallow it would draw air into the skimmer intake lol

Did you ever figure out what the problem was?
 
I just checked mine and the n base is 3 3/4" under water with using the 2 setting. Plus I have a 10 foot airline going out a window attached to the air intake

My brother has a reef octopus 200 (something) and when he saw my curve 5 in action he almost cried
