Hi Salmon11,

Reading your past posts, it seems that you are a very experienced and knowledgeable guy and I would like to learn more from you.

I sincerely hope that we could meet up for me to buy your coffee and maybe arrange for "Fragging" session or help you "Re arrange" your LRs?

What say you?

I am sure a lot of bros here are also anticipating to meet up with you.

Since you are so helpful, why not meet us up so that we can help you back? Or at least get the accolades that you so well deserved.

Cheers,

[Gouldian]

But Salmon11,

Why can't I do that? Why issit that you are the only one that can come into someone else (Eudaceous) thread to talk about another matter (gunzo) and I can't??? Why ah???

Maybe are you going to be our next Mod?? If this is the case then how come your name in not in the list??? Oh maybe you are the special one that automatically qualifies without selection!!!!

Btw, maybe I am slow, but I dun think gunzo is pursueing the matter as zealous as you, is there anything I dun know????

Bro, meet up leh, let us be inspired by you.

[Eudaceous]

what is the power consumpation for the pump for these tunze? will it cause some heat in your tank

The power is 21W. It is kept in the sump for the 9010 model. So heat in the main tank is undetectable.

Hope that helps.

[salmon11]

ohh.... that is a good recipe......

need to be discuss for other nice recipe..

bro gouldia. pm me please.

Hi Gunzo,

Just a thought, why dont I temporarily swop the 9010 collection cup with your 9015 and see the results in both skimmers?

I cant sit back and let only one person 'help' you out. Let me know what you think.

Cheers buddy

[salmon11]

eudaceous.

you give a very nice example to everybody. you would willing to help gunzo with his problematic skimmers. so this the thing that i want to see, helping other members.

thanks for the offer .. the instructions says foam will be light and aqueous if the bioload is not high enough .. it's not necessary to see dark skimmate

Anyway .. after letting it run in I have the new results

I believe we see differently because I use a skimmer thats way behind my fishtank size .. and interestingly this was also mentioned in the manual (gee got to read more .. ) if the DOC is low .. the skimmer will drop in bubble level until there's more DOC .. so effectively .. my tank is as clean as can be for DOC removal .. it goes crazy during feeding time .. and then after that it drops :lol:

My No3 ?? so (%*$#(%&@#(@!)(@)#$(#@ died behind my rock .. hahahahahaha .. it's back below 25ppm now .. I'll see how well it controls the buildup .. since mine is a relatively new tank (4 months old)

Oh yes .. I thank you for your review here .. the problems I thought I had was the initial start of the skimmer.. but afterwards .. it works pretty much as advertised .. MUCH better than my weipro

feast your eyes on

This is 2 weeks never washed cup 1st week recommended 3 turns on the screw .. 2nd week 2.5 turns .. gotta wash it cos the cabinet area STINKS !!! hehehehehe

Its a personal decision. Nothing to do with this thread.

This thread is for everyone to read. Its a public forum. But the ultimate decision lies in every individual. How can you discredit this thread like that?

Fine, if the product is so called flawed-design. Even so, nothing is perfect. We can accept "pointing out of flaws" but slamming of products and other thread contributors is a definate no-no.

Pls wake up.

[salmon11]

oh... gunzooo.... .. since you are doing ok with tunze.. than it is good for you..

[RockLobster]

Give up, doesn't help to reason with this kind of people like salm. *puts on flame-retardant suit*

[chewlaoheng]

well with gunzo's update, I guess that felle better shutup else I really think he is insane or trying to attract attention....

looks like I can try tunze 9005 with these 2 proven cases

[Eudaceous]

Hi laoheng,

looks like I can try tunze 9005 with these 2 proven cases

Go for it bro. Please post your observations here. Me quite keen to know about the effectiveness of 9005. Maybe we can form a Tunze usergroup here and support one another on tuning, parts, cleaning,etc

Hey gunzo, what's your bioload like?

That's some nice skimmate you got there.

You might want to try cleaning the gunk build up in the collection cup every other day or so.

I find that it actually helps in improving skimmate removal

[Gouldian]

Glad that life is now back to normal.

[salmon11]

hehehhe... more relief also for me.

by the way, this is the first time i heard overskim. well after 2 weeks never cleaned cup. it really show results.

define bioload !!

I have

1 purple tang 4"-5"

1 brown tang 2.5"

1 devil damsel 2" (1st fish and can't catch him out )

1 maroon 2.5"

1 algae blenny 5" length

1 dartfish

4 shrimp gobies

2 flame and 1 fire goby

1 blood shrimp

2 candy pistols

1 scallop

cleaner crews

3 sanddollars

1 brittlestar (huge guy)

1 cleaner shrimp

1 peppermint shrimp

1 strombus

alot of snails running around

all these housed in a 3 x 1.5 x 2 tank

is this high or low bioload ?

I clean whenever I see it fill up to the 600ml mark .. I can't do 1 or 2 day .. coz not enough gunk to clean

the water is surprisingly clear this few weeks (last water change about 1.5weeks ago).. previously it's abit stained and alot of sediments floating (maybe I redid my filtering that's why too )

[salmon11]

that is actually medium bioload.

[blueheaven]

That's actually quite high in my perspective considering you've got 2 tangs which poo a lot

Yeah and I also noticed my water becoming clearer when I upgrade my skimmer.

How long does it take usually to reach the 600ml mark?

[gunzo]

hmm didn't know the tangs are poo machines

but they are indeed non stop grazers .. coz I have to put in the seaweed everyday and I feed everyday too !!!

Now it's consistently 3-4 days .. just nice 1 week change once

smells like my son's poo (or worse) when I clear it

[chewlaoheng]

anymore pic update on foam and performance?
