New Tunze 9004 nano skimmer...

jdaven22 · May 19, 2012

I was reading Reef Builder's Interzoo coverage and saw where Tunze is releasing a new nano skimmer. It looks pretty slick and from what I can find seems to have a nice, small footprint- almost perfect for my particular tank.

My bioload is small now but I have added some nice SPS and would like the addition of a quality skimmer to help in growth and sustainability of them.

Does anyone have any information on when the skimmer will be hitting shelves or where I could pick one up at?

The footprint/overall size certainly seems desirable for nano aquaria use, maybe even fit in some all in ones; 4.3″ x 3.5″, with a height of 12″. So far the most specific release info I've seen just says Mid summer, US prices announced "soon."

I ran across where I heard the price is going to be in the $175-180 range. The footprint fits perfectly in the overflow chamber of my JBJ rimless aio tank. It will be a nice, clean, hidden way for me to boost up my tank.

I was planning on getting a quality hob skimmer but I believe this will be my new choice.

Another option you may want to look at is the CPR SR3, I've not used either one yet but both should fit in the 30Rl, if not the overflow (which would be ideal) then in the larger duel pump return area. The key with the 30RL when running an in-line non hob skimmer is keeping the water level in the filtration chambers level for consistent skimmate production...in other words watch the evaporation.
