Tunze Doc Skimmer 9004 - Skimmer for aquariums from 60 to 250 liters

The Comline® DOC Skimmer 9004 was developed for use in mixed marine aquariums or soft corals up to 250 liters or in delicate reef aquariums with hard corals up to 150 liters. It works according to the TUNZE® Flash Skimming principle, taking water from an efficient surface suction device with removal of the bacterial film and thus being usable also as a single appliance in the aquarium. His TUNZE® Foamer produces a large quantity of fine air bubbles with a diameter between 0.1 and 0.3 mm and the operation is particularly silent.

Comline® DOC Skimmer is ready for insertion, supplied with Magnet Holder for glass thickness up to 12 mm; for thicker glasses a second Magnet Holder can be applied.

 Superficial aspiration with removal of the bacterial film.

 Foam collector with volume of 0.2 liters, also contains the foam reactor, easily removable.

 Connection with patented magnetic support for glass up to 12 mm thick.

    Intermediate piece with patented Anti Overfoaming system.

 TUNZE® Skimmer 9004.040, high air flow and low energy consumption.

  Outgoing water without bubbles.

 New "Comline® Design": practical to use, elegant and discreet in the aquarium.

 Air regulation and silencer for particularly silent operation.

The principle of "flash skimming" ensures a considerable production of foam with a high degree of effectiveness.

Here's how it works: surface water, rich in protein, is mixed very intensely in TUNZE® Foamer with air. Through the formation of air bubbles, waste substances such as proteins, cellulose, dead cells, etc. are immediately taken on their surface. Very fine bubbles are produced, with a diameter between 0.1 and 0.3 mm. The mixture of water and air bubbles is expanded and stabilized in the body of the skimmer, after which the water returns to the aquarium and the air bubbles full of proteins enter the reactor of the foam collector. The patented Anti Overfoaming system - an intermediate chamber with phase water - prevents the skimmer from coming out and adjusting the skimming capacity depending on the water level and the organic load.

The degree of effectiveness particularly high compared to that of high skimmers and with a long contact time, is reached by the principle of "flash skimming" thanks to the fact that the substances adsorbed by the air bubbles are not ripped from their surface again, risking to return to the aquarium water.

For use in Sump it is necessary to guarantee a water level of about 23cm
