9012 Comline DOC Skimmer

Does have a hefty price. But when you’re talking about an investment in equipment for the saltwater/reef tank hobby this is a no brainer. Not only is it slim and compact it skims perfectly tucked away in the back of my Innovative Marine SR-80 Gallon tank. With the DC controller I can shut off the skimmer itself for cleaning and not have to shut off all the rest of the equipment. The product feels well made and I love I can adjust the pump with a small controller. Also you can’t go wrong with Tunze, they’re basically the Mercedes/Lexus of reef hobby equipment. Worth the investment!

If you look at the new skimmers, they fixed everything wrong with this version. The knobs fall off the controller rendering it useless(it will happen), the cup will float off at times with no skim weighing it down, the hose to the magnets can’t reach once your water level drops even a little, the air flow adjust ti the silencer is horrible and will lose tension over time. Their new revision model is so much better for a hundred bucks more. It’s on the manufacturer’s site.

In my opinion, the best skimmer for tanks without sump and with internal space (100 gal up) enough to have it attached to a back corner of the aquarium without being noticeable.

It’s okay. Adjusting the air is difficult…so had to resort to adjusting the pump…max I can run the pump is 10% otherwise it fills the container in a day.

I really want to love this skimmer. It pulls out a lot of junk. However, the micro bubbles are so bad that I can only run it at night. I think part of the problem is the wide "lip"on my tank that won't allow me to set the skimmer low enough. It is so nice and compact and is a beast so I tolerate it.

Nice sturdy plan for properly executing its purpose, skimming the water. I like the DC model especially for it’s variable power control. It’s small with a mighty punch.

The device came with assembly so i can use directly. The skimming function is good after 3 weeks' use.The main issue is it's very noisy. i had contacted Tunze maintenance and now is waiting for the spare parts. i will update my review later.

Great skimmer. Very quiet especially with the rubber plug/suction cups damping the vibration.Let's see how long with the suction cup last in salt water. I have had several issues with some of the plastic used by Tunze on their turbelle.
