Tunze 9010 Break in Time - Others Results
 

Hey there,

I now have a Tunze 9010 running with my EuroReef rs180, it has been running for about 2 weeks now, but the foam production is off and on...

I have the unit running wide open, meaning full air intake, but I hear it can take about a month or so for these units to fully break in, but once they do they are great. Is this true? just wondering and thanks.

I've had one running on my smaller tank for 2 years now. I find it to be a good little skimmer: Very user friendly, small footprint, and easy to clean. I can't really advise you as to break in time because when I first got it I had a pretty small bioload. Mine skims best with a wetter skimmate. I get about 150 ml per day of a green tea coloured skimmate. Hope this helps.

I'm glad that the 9010 has a good review here. I have one that I will be installing in the sump when I get my new 120 gal finished. Looking forward to the skimmate from this tunze.

I ran mine in my sump for a bit also. Now I love Tunze products in general and my 9010 was a good skimmer but,

if running a sump on something larger than a 100g or so, I would be using one of the better needle wheel model skimmers.

Yup, I agree with Doug. Mine is in the sump for a 90 gal well-stocked reef and that's pushing it. It does the job but I wouldn't recommend it for anything bigger.
