Just an update. I had seen a post on the Tunze forum, in regards to the bottom plate and sump use. I dont know if that was my problem or some other. However, while awaiting my cube, I took my Tunze apart and cleaned it, then put it back together for sump use, as per the pics in that thread.
I then placed it, sitting on some rock, in the holding tub, where my livestock is. Well, is it ever skimming. Perhaps the best I have seen it skim since its purchase. I will take the sump pics, as soon as its set up that way.

I wasn't getting that much skimmate in a week from my berlin xl on my 175g (which is why the tank is now skimmerless
 )

Hey Doug,
Do you have an update on how your Tunze 9010 is working out for you? Is the performance adequate? Anybody else have any experiences with this skimmer? I have a small 15G sump and this might do the trick. Thanks in advance!

Mine is still running just fine. Skims well and so easy to dump & clean. I,m running it in tank again, on my 90. It worked well when I had a sump, just had to make sure it was together correct and the water intake was clean.
The intank feature was the main reason for my purchase and I,m a fan of Tunze . I dont think it skims any better than a decent needle wheel though, like SWC {Octopus} or a Euroreef. However, price would be a consideration. For my needs, I,m happy with it though. It skims better when the cup it kept pretty clean, so I dump mine every couple days. As with my stream pump, the mounting brackets make one scratch their head. But not needed in sump. Its also pretty simple to take apart for pump cleaning but some attention needs to be paid to re-assembly.

Next time you clean it can you take some pics of it apart? I want to see wat you mean by the neck comes out.
