2 Questions for Roger

TriggersAmuck · Dec 5, 2020

Mr. Vitko,
Does Tunze carry the back panel of the 9004 skimmer as an individual replacement part, the panel which connects to the magnetic holders? One of the plastic clips which firmly lock into those magnetic holders tore a bit, so that magnet doesn't really hold that side of it causing the body to protrude out a bit. Also makes it a bit harder to position the skimmer, usually taking me several tries since that magnet can rotate around the one secured clip.

Second question: I'm looking to get the COMLINE® NANOFILTER 3161 for a 7.5 gallon nano, and I wanted to know what readily available heaters will fit that filter reasonably well? The Jager is 9", which seems like it might protrude too far out?

Thank you so much for your time!
--Scott

Scott,

Only very small preset heaters will fit in the 3161. For example the very small probe type heaters that are preset to 78 for example. I have this filter running on a 7 gallon guppy tank and use this heater in it- https://www.chewy.com/tetra-ht10-su...G&utm_term=4584619895688630&utm_content=Tetra. It barely fits.

You can get the back panel for a 9004, part 3162.100, these are presently out of stock, but I should get more in at the end of December/beginning of January.

Thank you so much! I'll check back in at the beginning of the year.

Hi Roger,
Any chance Tunze has stock of the 9004's back panel, or still too early? Thanks!
