In 1963, the first series production protein skimmer with its own air production was developed. The fine-bubbly air was created in the device with a venturi air nozzle and Turbelle pressure pump, which enabled a very compact design compared to the counter-current flow skimmers which were being used back then.The TUNZE "Skimmer devices" were developed in different versions for smaller reef biotopes, cabinet systems and for the compact internal technology - Comline. After extensive research on the optimization of the disperser-principle, the first "Hydrofoamer" which was a specially developed skimmer pump, was manufactured in 2005. At that time, it was capable of conveying 800l/h (211 US gal.) of air with a power consumption of only 23W.In 2012, the "TUNZE Foamer" was specially developed for the Comline internal technology, as an air generator for internal skimmers with a very low energy consumption and a high performance. It opened up the door for the new generation of efficient TUNZE internal skimmers with a very compact design.Simple, quiet and effective - these are the current demands towards aquarium components. That's precisely what distinguishes the small Comline DOC Skimmer 9001 - a true "plug and play" skimmer for small seawater aquariums with 20 to 140 liters (5.3 to 37 US gal.).There's no complicated setting or regular adjustment required for the operation. A simple installation into a corner of the aquarium is sufficient and it will work autonomously.Features/Specifications: Recommended from 20 to 140 liters (5.3 to 37 US gal.) of sea water.

A simple installation into a corner of the aquarium is sufficient and it will work autonomously.Features The Flash Skimming Principle enables... highly efficient foam production. Organic-rich surface water is mixed thoroughly with small air bubbles in the TUNZE Foamer. On the surface of the air bubbles, pollutants such as protein, cellulose, dead cells, etc. are adsorbed immediately, the air bubbles are very fine, with a diameter between .1 and .3 mm (.004" - .012"). The water / air mixture expands and stabilizes in the skimmer cup reactor, the water returns to the aquarium, and the protein-loaded air bubbles spill over into the skimmer cup. The patented anti-overfoaming system intermediate chamber prevents the skimmer from overfoaming and controls the skimmer performance, depending on the water level and organic load. The particularly high efficiency of the flash skimming principle, compared to large skimmers with long contact time, is obtained because the substances adsorbed by the air bubbles are not released again, thus they don't return to the aquarium water.

Skimming, filtering and aerating a saltwater aquarium without power consumption is impossible. But, no unit uses less current than TUNZE DOC Skimmer 9410. At a power consumption of only 12 W (16 W), the new DOC Skimmer has equivalent performance to much larger skimmers consuming more than twice as much power. In addition, no settings are required, and it is extremely silent.Skimmer cup (diam. 160 mm (6.2 in.)) with large capacity; also contains the foam reactor; can be removed easily.The booster ring permits a fine adjustment of the power, thus adapting the water level inside the skimmer as required for the production of somewhat wetter foam, for example.The removable post-filter at the outlet of the skimmer permits perfect mechanical filtration through 50 micron acrylic wadding fibres with little biological action. This ensures that no unwanted nutrient and nitrate sources develop in case of longer cleaning intervals. The filter can be filled with other filter media, such as activated carbon or phosphate absorber.Stable base which also reduces the water velocity in the lower zone of the skimmer.TUNZE Hydrofoamer Silence 9410.04 is a pump specifically developed for protein skimmers. The Hydrofoamer generates large volumes of fine air bubbles with a diameter of between 0.1 to 0.3 mm (.0039 to .011 in.). It has an energy consumption of only 12 W (16 W) at an air output of 600 l/h (158 USgal./h) which places this air generator at the top of its product class. At a water flow of 900 l/h (1,000 l/h) (237 USgal./h / 264 USgal./h), it is also used to supply the aquarium water to the skimmer.The mixing chamber with flow distributor binds an especially high amount of organic material.Intermediate chamber with phase water: The patented Anti-Overfoaming System prevents an overfoaming of the skimmer and regulates the skimming action according to surface tension of the aquarium water and water level. The skimmer operates independently and automatically sets its best efficiency.Specifications: Recommended for aquariums up to 1,000 litres (264 USgal.) of salt water Immersion depth of 140 to 240 mm (5.5 to 9.4 in.)

The Comline DOC Skimmer 9004 is designed for use in seawater mixed aquariums / soft coral aquariums up to 250 litres (66 US gal.) or sensitive reef biotopes with stone corals up to 150 litres (40 US gal.). It works based on the TUNZE Flash Skimming principle, water supply is provided via an efficient surface intake system with bacteria film removal. Thus, the system can also be used as a "standalone solution" in the aquarium. The featured TUNZE foamer generates many fine air bubbles with a diameter between 0.1 and 0.3mm, which ensures particularly silent operation. The Comline DOC Skimmer is ready for installation, including a magnet holder designed for up to a pane thickness of 12mm (3/8").The "Flash skimming" principle enables highly efficient foam production.Principle: Protein-rich surface water is mixed with water thoroughly in the TUNZE Foamer.
