About this deal

I did find out that the pump of this skimmer (mine at least) is basically silent and the noise comes from the air intake (and is especially loud if you listen closely to the opening of the air tube). As I read about people extending air tubes of skimmers to quiet them down, I tried replacing the air tube that comes with the skimmer with a slightly longer one. And even though I'm not sure why: it does actually seem to work! The skimmer is quieter now! The air tube isn't even much longer, just a few centimeters. I still put the silencer on at the end... I did notice that taking the silencer off also makes a difference now, whereas before it didn't seem to matter whether it was on or off. It doesn't seem to affect the performance. Using the Tunze Flash Skimming Principle, the Comline DOC Skimmer pulls water through an efficient surface suction. Two: There seem to be escaping bubbles. The water next to the skimmer is constantly looking like fizzy soda and it's actually the most hearable noise that's coming from the skimmer right now. There's also small particles of water jumping from that part of the tank. Basically just as if it's fizzy water. Is there a way to fix this? Or is this normal?

The Tunze Comline Doc Skimmer reduces energy consumption and space used on equipment, with a neat compact design that ensures 24/7 high performance. Restoring harmony inside the aquarium, the Tunze Comline Doc Skimmer, recommended for aquariums up to 140 litres, removes all organic pollutants from the water with flash protein skimming that fetches instant results. And three: The microbubbles. I've read that many people have had issues with this. Some found a solution, of which I tried a few of, but I couldn't find a way to fix it yet. Perhaps it has to break in? Although it's not that I just put it in the tank: it has been in the water for a bit (but not working) so it does have that little slime film on it. If your reef aquarium is prone to accumulating scum and organic matter, you’ve probably considered investing in a new Tunze reef skimmer. By circulating water through a chamber and introducing air into the tank, these skimmers create a foam that traps organic material and small particles. Yet, for it to work, you need the right product. So, should you buy the Tunze 9001 or the Tunze 9002?

Thanks to its relatively small and low-energy motor, the Tunze 9001 is incredibly quiet and can run all night without bothering a soul. The only downside to this model is that the skimmer cup can be difficult to remove, making it harder to clean the skimmer. Nevertheless, this is a wonderful option for nano-sized reef aquariums and will quietly work throughout the day and night. Tunze 9002 Product Review Thus, a DOC skimmer for 1,000 liters (264 USgal.) should be used for a tank with a maximum content of approx. 600 liters (158 USgal.).

The only downside to the 9002 is that its more powerful engine is slightly louder than the 9001. Nevertheless, it’s still quiet enough to go unnoticed throughout the day. Additionally, you’ll have to clean the cup every couple of days but, within just a week, you’ll notice as your tank becomes cleaner and cleaner. Which Should You Buy—The Tunze 9001 or the Tunze 9002?

Thus, a DOC skimmer for 1,000 liters (264 USgal.) should be used for a tank with a maximum content of approx. 300 liters (79 USgal.). The size of your reef aquarium – A larger aquarium needs a more powerful skimmer to process all of the water. Thus, a DOC skimmer for 1,000 liters (264 USgal.) should be used for a tank with a maximum content of approx. 400 liters (106 USgal.). Your budget – Both products are reasonably priced, but keep your budget in mind as you start shopping. Now that we’ve taken an in-depth look at each product, it’s time to decide which one is right for your reef aquarium. You’ll need to choose based on a few simple factors, such as:
