Electronically controllable by the Turbelle® Controller
Micro-processor controlled PM motor operating on safety extra-low voltage of 12 V to 24 V. Blocking and run-dry protection.
Skimmer Cup
Large capacity skimmer cup (160mm diameter). Also contains the foam reactor. Can be removed easily.
Booster Ring
The booster ring permits a fine adjustment of the performance, thus adapting the water level inside the skimmer as required for the production of somewhat wetter foam, for example.
Post Filter
The removable post-filter at the outlet of the skimmer permits perfect mechanical filtration through 300 µm (11.8 mil) nylon mesh with little biological action only. This ensures that no unwanted nutrient and nitrate sources develop in case of longer cleaning intervals. The filter can be filled with other filter media, such as activated carbon or phosphate absorber.
Stable Base
Stable base which also reduces the water velocity in the lower zone of the skimmer.
TUNZE® Hydrofoamer Silence 9410.040
A pump specifically developed for protein skimmers. The Hydrofoamer generates large volumes of fine air bubbles with a diameter of between 0.1 to 0.3 mm (.004" - .012"). It has an energy consumption of only 11w (15w max) at an air output of 600 l/h (158 USgal./h) which places this air generator at the top of its product class. At a water flow of 900 l/h (237 USgal./h), it is also used to supply the aquarium water to the skimmer.
Anti-Overfoaming System
The patented Anti-Overfoaming System prevents an overfoaming of the skimmer and regulates the skimming action according to surface tension of the aquarium water and water level. The skimmer operates independently and automatically sets its best efficiency.
Ozone Connection
Nipple for ozone connection. Ozone improves the skimming process and at the same time removes any yellowing matter in the aquarium water.
