[Stuart Willis]

hey guys
so was looking around for new skimmer and came across this thing its pretty small
any one tried it or seen it in action
and what are your thoughts is it worth the 85 bucks

What size of tank are you looking to put it on? Sump, no sump?

I use this one. Very happy with it.

no sump here hence the reason for a small skimmer

The Tunze 9001 is a good little skimmer. I had one in my grow out tank and it did well.

+1. The Tunze Comline 9001 is a workhorse. Currently use this on a 20 gallon all-in-one, and it definitely does the job. Worth the asking price. It does take a little fine-tuning and a short break-in period, but after that it's set-and-forget.

Doesn't look like much of an air diffuser for that price. You can buy the Coralife limewood diffuser for $7 and make your own or see if the Coralife fits your tank; about $30
