TUNZE Skimmers

Pauper · 07/15/2007, 06:33 AM

I have an 160G display tank with a 50G refugium/sump and looking to upgrade my skimmer. I was waiting for the new ATI Bubble Master 200 but now considering the Tunze's as well because of their reputation for reliability. Does anyone have the Tunze 9015, 9020 Doc skimmers or the Master 9420? If so, would you recommend it? Pros, Cons? A picture of your waste cup would also be helpful.

I have a 9015 and love it. small and works well. A 9015 is really a 9010 set up to skim drier. At least that's my understanding. In a 160 it would probably be undersized.

I had a 9010 on my forty gallon frag tank i would not go any larger then say 100 gallons with that skimmer.
