i got a Aqua C Remora skimmer rated for 60 gallons for my aquapod 12. Do you guys think it will keep my water pretty clean?

It all depends on what kind of corals you are keeping. A friend of mine can NOT keep LPS in his system. He overskims, the tank is barebottom and he has a ton of flow. He WAS primarily a SPS keeper, then downgraded his lighting and circulation to help lower energy costs. LPS barely extend due to lack of nutrition in his overly-clean arrangement. He is now back to keeping SPS and the system is thriving again. IMO you CAN overskim a system to the point of stripping the water completely of non-photosynthetic nutrients.
