9010 capacity

[Bill Boy]

Ok sounds good! I love the small footprint of the 9010 and how quiet it is. Amazing!

Roger, just some feedback,and for others who read this thread with a similar issue, the skimmer started skimming last night and skimmed 100mls over night. Seems Roger was spot on saying the addition of fine sand stalled the skimmate head.

Roger, I love the tunze 9010's, they are so compact and plug and play, as well as really energy efficient. How much improvement in skimming capability would I get by just getting another 9010, rather than getting a bigger skimmer for my 240g?

Thanks.

Two skimmers never work quite as well as one big one. You would probably increase the capacity about 75%, not quite double. If you have the sump space I would consider the 9420, it is much stronger and equally plug and play, it is just a lot bigger.
