This is true but it is mostly when the skimmer is new, after a few weeks if any bubbles leave the seam it is a very few.

I noticed microbubbles from the seam when it was brand new, and after a thorough cleaning, but they stop after a week or so.

Roger, can you tell me how much clearance is required at the bottom of the skimmer for the outgoing water?

As long as the bottom is not obstructed, it should be fine, 1/4-1/2" should be fine.

For the Tunze 9004 users who also have used the 9002, how much more skimmate does this produce?

In general all that is needed is to firmly push the two body halves together, and be sure it is installed in a lower flow area. Some bubbles will exit for a few weeks but should subside.

I have this skimmer running in the sump of my 29g biocube. I was considering using it in my 20g sump for my 30g. It's nice because it takes up very little space.

9001 would fit anywhere the 9002 would, it is smaller.

Hi would the 9004 be ok for a 220 litre (58g) with some corals like torch, mushrooms, Xenia, leather, hammer, zoas and maybe 1 or 2 sps and as for fish maybe 2 clowns, 1 yellow tang, 2 green cromis. would this skimmer be ok for this sort of stocking

I would say so, it is rated to 65 gallons of a fish only, what you describe would fall under the mixed reef where it can handle 40 gallons, it is not ideal, the 9012 would be better, but with good management of water chemistry (periodic water changes, phosphate remover, etc) I think for the price point and size you won't find a better suited skimmer.

Marine Depot has a couple online reviews, there have been some threads on here as well, it has only been available for about 9 months and the 9004 has been available for a couple years.

I should add you will find much more on European sites, running a larger in tank skimmer is fairly uncommon in the US.

9001 for sure, it is half the size, the 9004 would take up too much room, their would be no real difference in noise and a 9001 can handle an SPS only tank up to 15 gallons.

I have a 33-34 gallon tank with a moderate to heavy bio load; and I'm looking to keep SPS. 9004 or the newer 9012?

9004 will do the job, the 9012 is a lot bigger physically and a 9004 is rated to 65, you basically are halving what it can do which is about right for SPS, heavy load.

Their is no conversion kit, it would need at least 8.86" of water to work, if you can get that water depth it would be fine.

Hey Roger,
So you think the 9004 could handle a light load 30g sps tank? I know its rated for 66 gallons but there so many more variables than just tank size. Im currently running a 9004 on a smaller lps tank and its skimming really well. |
