Great Skimmer by RONALD

Comments: Great support from Tunze even before I ordered one (thanks Roger). The screw air adjustment makes it easy to tunze to the exact color of skimmate you desire. Removing the collection cup for cleaning could not be easier. Compact size too! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Great Skimmer by ANDY

Comments: This skimmer is effective, efficient, and QUIET! The only thiing that keeps the rating from a 5 is the instructions. Too many parts with little clear instruction for the mounting bracket. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I purchased this skimmer months ago and it has yet to give me more than a teaspoon of foam. I walked through all the steps with the Tunze rep to repair it he had to send me parts, put them in and it still does not work. I sent it to the rep in Texas to fix, meanwhile my $50.00 sealife systems skimmer skimmed the gunk out, got the tunze back, put it back it in sump and it still does not work. Long story short, the skimmer does not work. It is collecting dust in my garage while I save up some extra money to by a different skimmer. Be careful, Marine Depot does not let you return these if it was used in an aquarium. There goes $400.00. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

most skim for the space, $$$ by rayray

Comments: I had to have a Tunze so I dumped the EuroReef (that replaced the ASM) & true to everyone's testimony this much smaller skimmer moderately outskimmed the others. After the high wore off, the reality that the cost:benefit ratio was very unfavorable hit me - but at least now there is NOTHING better to upgrade to IMO. I do agree the body of skimmer feels thin & cheap, also the mounting options (tinker toy set) is awful. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

No bang for the buck! by RON C

Comments: I have one on a 37g tank with a 10 gallon sump. So far I've had it for a little over a month and I'll tell you what, the air stone skimmer I was using on my 20g produced more skim then this thing...I've tried to adjust it both wet and dry and I get the same results. close to nothing. one thing I really hate about it, it the way it's put together... it's made of cheap this plastic that snaps in place to hold it together..it's not what you'd expect for the money Tunze charges for this thing...the other day I took it apart to clean it, another part that was glued in place came out with the pump..I think for the money you can buy a much better skimmer IMO. One more thing. If you have an issue with it and you vent a little frustration about the product Tunze has only one guy in the U.S. taking care of everything..rub him the wrong way and you will get no help. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Great Skimmer!!! by JP

Comments: If you are looking for a good skimmer to fit into a tight sump this is the skimmer for you. It produces consistent foam even with very little cleaning of the cup. The best part is the skimmer will sit @ idle until the waste builds up then it pulls out gunk like a champ. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: The skimmer was really easy to set up and began working right away. It still works great when sitting in my sump in only 4 or 5 inches of water. Very simple design, but extremely effective on my 75 gallon tank. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

A Great Skimmer by ERICK

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 7/25/2007 from PHOENIX, AZ UNITED STATES

Comments: I put this in the sump of my 142 gallon aquarium. After a six-week long break-in for which I have no explanation, it now consistently skims 200 ml of dark, chunky, tea-looking goo every day. It is a great skimmer from a great company. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Worth any price by John

Comments: We switched from the Turboflotor to the Tunze DOC Skimmer because we ran out of room in our sump, but it was the best decision. Our water quality dramatically increased, our coral looks healthier. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
