Tunze DOC Skimmer 9410

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 11 W (15 W), the DOC Skimmer has equivalent performance to much larger skimmers consuming more than twice as much power. In addition, no settings are required, it is extremely silent and it is easy to operate.

Nipple for ozone or CO2 Scrubber connection. Improves the skimming process and at the same time removes any yellowing matter in the aquarium water.

- Recommended for salt water aquariums up to 1,000 liters (265 US gal.).
- Immersion depth from 140 to 240 mm (5.5" - 9.5") without setting.
- Dimensions without post-filter (L x W x H): 250 x 180 x 415 mm (9.8" x 7.0" x 16.3")
- Water flow rate: 900 l/h (237.7 US gal./h)
- Air capacity: 600 l/h (158.5 US gal./h)
- Energy consumption: 11 W, 230V/50Hz (15 W, 115V/60Hz)
- Skimmer cup volume: 0.7 liters (0.2 US gal.)

The removable post-filter at the outlet of the skimmer permits perfect mechanical filtration through 300 µm (11.8 mil) nylon mesh with little biological action only. 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.

TUNZE® Hydrofoamer Silence 9410.040 is a pump specifically developed for protein skimmers. The Hydrofoamer generates large volumes of fine air bubbles with a diameter of between .1 to .3 mm (.004" - .012"). It has an energy consumption of only 11 W (15 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 (237 USgal./h), it is also used to supply the aquarium water to the skimmer.

Low sensitivity, no reductions In leather coral aquariums with long-polyp corals and anemones, for example, the load of dissolved organic matter may be higher, sometimes it may even be vital.

The DOC Skimmer can be used for the recommended aquarium volume without reductions.

Average sensitivity, 40% reduction

A medium organic sensitivity is usually found in mixed aquariums inhabited with leather and stoney corals (LPS). Filters, sponges, etc. can also be found there. A DOC skimmer that is designed for 1,000 liters (264 USgal.) is likely to only skim 40% of organic substances with this light pollution.

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.).

Increased sensitivity, 60% reduction

Aquariums with primarily small-polyp stoney corals (SPS) require an especially high degree of purity. They should have no load of phosphates or nitrates worth mentioning. Good oxygen saturation and very clear water are the pre-requisites. In this type of aquarium, the DOC skimmer is frequently used as a "stand-alone solution".

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.).

High sensitivity and high load,

70% reduction

Hard coral aquariums (SPS) with a high population of fish require an extremely high skimming capacity. The skimmer has to ensure the proper degree of purity for hard corals in case of an excessive fish burdening, whereas an especially high performance is required if it's used as a "stand-alone solution".

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.).

Especially for Comline® DOC skimmers used as contact skimmers for breeding tanks with plankton, 70% reduction

Stone coral aquariums or other breeding tanks with plankton food require an especially high degree of purity. Good oxygen saturation and very clear water are the pre-requisites.

Thus, a Comline® DOC skimmer for 1,200 liters (317 USgal.) should be used for a tank with a maximum content of approx. 360 liters (95 USgal.)
