Most would consider the remora a superior product to the coralife. I have the CS65 from my old tank, and am shopping for a new skimmer for my 90. I'm not looking at the CSS220 (if that tells you anything).

I hate my CSS125. It is so touchy to adjust, when it is adjusted right it really pulls the crap out of the tank, nice dark, thick skimmate. However, turn it off to empty the cup or do some cleaning and you have to fight to adjust it again. In addition, keeping the micro-bubbles down can be a pain.
In addition, the pump is huge and if you are going to use it in a HOB style then the pump will be a major eye-sore in the 46 gallon tank.

What kind of pump is your Remora using now? Are you using the surface skimmer? If you're not using the surface skimmer, where is the pump collecting the water from(ie top, middle or bottom of tank)?
The screw that plugs the injector port for cleaning should only be threaded enough to seal the hole. It screw's head should not be flush with the injector. I was getting a cup every 3 days with a Mag 7. I saw a thread yesterday that said to only thread the screw in enough to plug the hole. It is now 4 turns in and I got a cup of wet skimmate in 24 hours. I just raised the cup 1/2". We'll see if I get 1 cup of dryer foam tomorrow.
