More than 5,000 liters of air per hour with the TUNZE® high performance automatic DOC Skimmer” 9460!

In 1963, TUNZE® developed the revolutionary first protein skimmer with its own pump and air generator. In 2005, the first TUNZE® Flash Skimming models with powerful air injection and low-wattage consumption came onto the market. 
Today we designate our low-profile, ultra-efficient skimmers for tighter spaces as high performance automatic DOC skimmers because all models achieve very high standards for quality, performance and ease of use. The DOC Skimmer 9460 delivers an enormous air output of more than 5,000 l/h (1,321 USgal./h) with a very compact design and a water output of more than 3,500 l/h (925 USgal./h). It can be easily used in any aquarium with a cabinet system, but also in professional systems or aquarium stores up to 6,000 liters (1,585 USgal.) of water, the water level can vary between 150 and 250 mm (5.9" to 9.8"). It performs with the amazing TUNZE® Hydrofoamer 9460.040 skimmer pump that ensures foam production and water circulation at an energy consumption of only 58 W.

The advantages of the DOC Skimmer 9460: 
• High skimming performance with low energy consumption.
• The return water is completely free of bubbles.
• Only high quality materials are used for the DOC Skimmer.
• After the start-up phase, no adjustments are necessary — it works automatically with stable performance.
• The patented Anti-Overfoaming System avoids skimmer overflows and regulates foam production.
• It also captures the energy of output water: The DOC Skimmer contains two removable post-filters that perform a perfect mechanical filtration through 300µm acrylic wadding. The post-filters can be filled with filter media such as loose wadding, activated carbon or phosphate adsorbers.
• Easy cleaning: skimmer cup and foam reactor are one unit.
• Very quiet operation with Hydrofoamer Silence 9460.040 pump — thanks to special silicone feet and an oversized air silencer — this DOC Skimmer 9460 is one of the quietest devices on the market.
• Particularly robust construction of the pump drive: Air injector and high-performance rotor are built in one piece.
