albertthiel Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Personally I used to like the ones they sold 15 or so years ago when Tunze was big on the market in the US but currently I am told they no longer are all that popular and have modified their line quite a bit but I would have to check to see what all the changes in their product line are. They are tops in Germany though (still) Albert How u liking the tunze... Mine hasn't been modded but pulls some good green crap Here is a link to their new product line which appears to indeed have changed a lot from when I first ran across them in the US and in Germany when traveling to Europe for business http://www.tunze.com/149.html?&L=1&...=-infoxunter027 Albert I do.

albertthiel Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Yes micro bubbles and Tunze skimmers is not news to me ... it sometimes took a lot of work and adjusting to get rid of them but it is possible so don't despair Albert I do.

brad908 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 How far does the skimmer cap stick above the rim? Looks 3-4"? Think it might be time to get a mini skimmer. Link to comment
JR! Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 How far does the skimmer cap stick above the rim? Looks 3-4"? Think it might be time to get a mini skimmer. yep its just even with the top of the tank. looks good to me imo, much better then the stock cup water change and cleaning of all the rock is in order for the day Link to comment

ccapasso Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 gonna add that next week. Que? Is that a GFO reactor? Whatever it is, how are you hooking it up/putting it inline ? Link to comment
albertthiel Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Looks like this could be a type of multi-purpsose cartridge or an RO unit or a particulate filter .. not sure ... Let us know what you intend it for and indeed how you are going to hook it up ... Albert Que? Is that a GFO reactor? Whatever it is, how are you hooking it up/putting it inline ? Link to comment
JR! Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 Its a co2 scrubber for the Skimmer. Other have had awesome results with it. Gonna see if it will keep the alk and Ph in check. Link to comment
albertthiel Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Could not tell from the pic .. .thanks for the info ... are you not running a carb harness reactor ? That should get rid of the CO2 as the compound inside needs the acidity to become soluble and maintain the carb harness .. just wondering Albert Its a co2 scrubber for the Skimmer. Other have had awesome results with it. Gonna see if it will keep the alk and Ph in check. Link to comment
JR! Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 No reactor. Just filter floss chemipure elite chaeto. And now the skimmer Link to comment

albertthiel Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Thought so ...
