Dude I don't exactly like my urchin, when I upgrade I
'll definately be getting a much better skimmer. Something like a SWC (Saltwater Creations or a ASM G-3/G-4

There isn't a big difference, but here's what I know from owning both:

The Remora has two screws and brackets on the underside. These can be routed off to provide a smooth surface so the skimmer can stand evenly.

The Remora has a chute for the water to pour out while the Urchin pours out an opening on its side.

The Urchin is a bit taller, compared to a Remora.

If they are kept up with, cleaning out the spray injector, they do a good job. Clean the collection cup regularly; daily was my routine.

ace its simple...the remoras were designed with a hangon the back application in mind...the urchin series were designed to go into a sump primarily.
