Duplicates removal tool for paired-end

Hi, I used fastuniq, a duplicates removal tool for paired short DNA sequences. It used a lot of memory and I just wonder whether there is another tool which could remove duplication from paired-end with less memory?

Thank you in advance.

You could try the tally tool with reaper. I've only ever use it in single-end mode, but it claims to do paired end as well. As a bonus, it records how many copies of each sequence their were in the read name.
