Based on a standard marine aquarium with leather corals, the data on the suitable aquarium size may differ for other biotope compositions. For this reason, the aquarium volumes recommended for the skimmer should be reduced for more sensitive biotopes, if and when necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.tunze.com\/fileadmin\/_processed_\/csm_-info51.1_d6344a5176.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLow sensitivity, no reductions\u003cbr\u003eIn...\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eleather coral aquariums with long-polyp corals and anemones, for example, the load of dissolved organic matter may be higher, sometimes it may even be vital.\u003cbr\u003eThe DOC Skimmer can be used for the recommended aquarium volume without reductions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAverage sensitivity, 40% reduction\u003cbr\u003eAmedium organic sensitivity is usually found in mixed aquariums inhabited with leather and stoney corals (LPS). Filters, sponges, etc. can also be found there. A DOC skimmer that is designed for 1,000 liters (264 USgal.) is likely to only skim 40% of organic substances with this light pollution.\u003cbr\u003eThus, a DOC skimmer for 1,000 liters (264 USgal.) should be used for a tank with a maximum content of approx. 600 liters (158 USgal.).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncreased sensitivity, 60% reduction\u003cbr\u003eAquariums with primarily small-polyp stoney corals (SPS) require an especially high degree of purity. They should have no load of phosphates or nitrates worth mentioning. Good oxygen saturation and very clear water are the pre-requisites. In this type of aquarium, the DOC skimmer is frequently used as a \"stand-alone solution\".\u003cbr\u003eThus, a DOC skimmer for 1,000 liters (264 USgal.) should be used for a tank with a maximum content of approx. 400 liters (106 USgal.).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHigh sensitivity and high load,\u003cbr\u003e70% reduction\u003cbr\u003eHard coral aquariums (SPS) with a high population of fish require an extremely high skimming capacity. The skimmer has to ensure the proper degree of purity for hard corals in case of an excessive fish burdening, whereas an especially high performance is required if it's used as a \"stand-alone solution\".\u003cbr\u003eThus, a DOC skimmer for 1,000 liters (264 USgal.) should be used for a tank with a maximum content of approx. 300 liters (79 USgal.).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEspecially for Comline® DOC skimmers used as contact skimmers for breeding tanks with plankton, 70% reduction\u003cbr\u003eStone coral aquariums or other breeding tanks with plankton food require an especially high degree of purity.

In 2005, the first TUNZE® Flash Skimming models with powerful air injection and low-wattage consumption came onto the market.\u003cbr\u003eToday 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\").
