Tunze 9010 skimmer

[Doug]

I decided to purchase the Tunze 9010 skimmer for my new 90, as its had great reviews and I wanted to go sumpless, although this skimmer can be put in a sump. Purchased it from JL. Price is fine for a Tunze product, just wish I had purchased it when on sale @ boxing day. I was a day late.

I played with it in my coral holding tub but placed it in the tank today after I finished moving the stock.

Easy to set up and install. Holding brackets are the usual Tunze puzzle, , but I,ve had experience from my stream pumps. Very impressive large cup, which come out in a sec for cleaning, including the foam neck, which is part of the cup.

Looks fine in the tank, like a typical corner overflow. Pics are after a couple hrs. Easy air adjust & easy to control the water intake from full bore to full critter friendly re-circ. mode.

I will have more review later, after the skimmer has some time on it and a couple more pics.

Would it be possible to see a picture of it sitting in the tank? How far above the tank does the cup sit?

[Doug]

Marie, its 3.5 in. from the top of the frame on the tank to the top of the cup. I will try get a pic for you later today.

I tried a couple pics Marie. Having problems with window glare & light. Hope these will give you an idea anyways. Forgive the flash in one but wanted more light for the pic.

Thanks Doug . I have a remora pro on my tank that is viewed from 3 sides and I wanted to replace it with something less ugly. It's a toss up between the deltec or the tunze.

i guess if u have glass tops, using this skimmer would produce issues....i figure you would have to get them custom cut?
