hello. It's a great little skimmer and its very easy to clean, all you have too do is pull off the collection cup off the skimmer, it is easy as that , you don't even need to turn it off . I'm running mine in a 180 litre tank with 9 fish and its pulling out a nice skim. Good luck with your tank mate.
Hi there. You can change the way how it skims by adjusting height. The best thing is to leave air income fully open for most efficient skimming, then by adjusting skimmer height get a foam you want. The higher skimmer is, the dryer skimming will be.
The whole point of a skimmer is to produce micro bubbles which will remove proteins,amino acids,organic compounds from the aquarium, this produces the skim(or scum). Look up wiki for all the info.
Hello, i plan to buy this skimmer and use it for my Rio 240. This looks like an effective and quiet one. My question: i want still to use the covers of my Rio 240, is it possible with the positioned skimmer, or will it come out of the tank-edge, so i can't close the cover?
Hello there, thanks for that video. I was thinking of buying one of these Tunze 9004s. But acutally never saw one in action ;-). Did I miss it or did you not mention how many liters your tank has? I am wondering how often you have to clean the Tunze 9004 and is it easy? I am asking because of holiday time. Sometimes we are away for a few weeks and then my daughter has to look after it. I am going to buy a 90 liter tank and but the Tunze in it. Won't have much fish in it. Maybe 4 - 6 little ones, that stay on the ground and snails and so on...
Great video. I'm thinking of upgrading my Lido 120 to a 200 and was wondering what internal skimmer to buy as my hob Deltec is a complete eyesore and way over rated. Tank looks healthy anyway mate.
Hi I've just got one of these,my question to you is if I want a really dark skim do I run it so the bubbles are right at the bottom of the collector cup neck,and right at the top for a really wet skim?
Hi, I just bought this skimmer and installed it in my Juwel Lido 120. I don't know exactly how high or low the water level needs to be... If I follow the manual and let the water level be in the middle of the intake (just like yours) then water gets into the foam cup (just like in your vid). Is that normal/ok? When I move the skimmer up a bit then I don't get water into the foam cup but I'm worried that the water level is not high enough into the water intak of the skimmr? Please advise.
hi,im thinking of getting a tunze 9004 ,do you think it would be ok in a juwel 190,the juwel skimmer is so noisey,causes loads of micro bubbles and comes unstuck all the time,can you give me the measurement from where it sits in the water line to the top of the tank,im trying to figure if it will fit under the hood,thanks for any help
Hello everyone! How realistic is my plan to convert a Juwel Lido 200 into a salt water aquarium and what would I need? (except for this skimmer?) Really hope you can help me! Kind regards,

I’ve been thinking about that too, how did it go?
Yeah I'm well chuffed with it. Much better than the TMC's

hey does the first few day does the cup fill up very quick with tank water by the micro bubble
Hi I've just got one of these,my question to you is if I want a really dark skim do I run it so the bubbles are right at the bottom of the collector cup neck,and right at the top for a really wet skim?
Can you tell me how many cm of the skimmer are above the water?
Fantastic
What tank is this on? Juwel?

Hello there the tank is a juwel rio 180 .
The top of the Skimmer sits about 4 inch above the water line.. .. so should be ok
Mine keeps blowing micro bubbles out of the bottom
hi Johny is this a rio 240 tank?
thank you
10 minutes and no micro bubbles?
Hi bud, any ideas on how to stop the micro bubbles. I've had mine installed for nearly a week and still have issues with micro bubbles...
Hello mate. I'm not too sure about stopping them. I still get a few bubbles still after a year of running. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
great price and we all got to watch the watts cost of electricity
