We continue to have the chance to try new products. Tunze DOC Skimmer 9415 is definitely one of them. After admiring it during Interzoo at Nuremberg we really wanted to try it. The reported consumption are in fact very low, but this skimmer seems to be perfect for highly populated tanks.
The skimmer is built in an excellent manner, with a fineness in detail truly remarkable. Totally acrylic and plastic, the skimmer is really beautiful, as beauty is not perhaps the main thing that people who buy these objects look, never hurts. Better to have something nice that works well, right?
Since my tank is busy testing the skimmer LGMAquari 850 this beautiful Tunze skimmer will be tested on the Andrea‘s tank that within a couple of months will let us know what he thinks and as usual we will make a very thorough review here on DaniReef .
I think a tank of its kind is excellent as a test for the new Tunze.
The first thing we notice is definitely the diameter of the skimmer, is huge!. But let’s see all the specifications in detail.
Dimensions:
Lenght 35 cm
Width 30 cm
Height 44 cm
Consumption: 15 watt (that’s incredible!!!)
Water flow rate: 1.100 l/h
Air capacity: 850 l/h
Price (in Italy): 506,40 euro
Tunze recommend it for aquariums up to 1,500 liters but we will test on Andrea’s aquarium that contains only 500 liters but as you have seen is extremely full of corals, as well as beautiful. Using the configurator on Tunze website, we could use the smallest 9410 … who will be right?
What do you think?

Hi,
This skimmer use 9420.040 pump, and pump’s specs are 850lt/h air and 1300lt/h water intake.. but this skimmer specs are 1100lt/h water intake, although it use 9420.040.. Also 9430.040 pump has same case.. it takes 2300lt/h water but on 9430 skimmer it takes 1600lt/h water.. What is the differences ?
Hi Anil, it’s normal that a pump alone has different specs, because inside skimming system there is much more head to win. So less head and less output.
