Does anyone know a good pump for AquaCRemora skimmer? I am looking for one with less than 2 inches width yet rated 200plus gph pump that is quiet. I tried order on Amazon but most pumps are too big to fit. Tried Hydor Pico rated 300gph but not powerful enough. Maxijet is too noisy. Tried Rio 800 but too noisy. Help!

Is this an AIO? Or hanging it on your sump below your tank?

I have the Cobalt or Maxi and they are not what they use to be. Impeller horribly imbalanced. Luckily tank is in garage and I don't have to hear it.

Maxijet is now made by marineland, I believe they are made in China, cobalt took over old maxijet production, so those are supposed to still be Italian made (so the better/good ones).

I'd look for the one that states "made in Italy" then you should be good to go. I'm starting to believe I have the Marineland model. I don't remember my box being black.
