FS: Tunze Hydrofoamer 9430.040 Frankenstein Skimmer

Established since 2008
I am rebuilding my sump and in about 3 weeks my modded Tunze Skimmer will be available. (possibly sooner)

Basically I took an 8 inch cone based skimmer that measures up to 27 inches.

Total dimensions are 9x12x27.

I have this in a standard 55 gallon tank. So you have a better feel as to how small this footprint is vs performance ratio.

If interested in the sump, I will sell for an additional $75. Seperate thread on this when the time comes and I have a chance to clean it out and get ready.

55 gallon tank/sump dimensions 48.3" x 12.8" x 21"

Tunze Specs:

  • Maximum air flow performance: 1,600l/h (423 USgal./h) at a water flow rate of 2,000l/h (528 USgal./h).
  • Power consumption: 24W (32W) at an air capacity of 1,600l/h (423 USgal./h), motor with a protective thermostat.
  • Pump outlet with ¾ in. BSP thread (NPT).
  • Pump housing with strainer and silencer.
  • Pump drive: Rotor with high-performance one-part magnet, with a full-ceramic bearing.

Which translates to skimmer performance: (original stats of the 1,000 LPH Air Intake of Atman PH4000. As you can see I bumped it up to 1,600 LPH Air Intake.)

Conservative expectations I believe in due to Tunze Upgrade:

  • Heavy Bioload 300 gallons
  • Medium Bioload 350 gallons
  • Light Bioload 400/450 gallons.

No Bubbles Escaping Skimmer once connected to bubble diffuser plate.

I also have a 3/4 uniseal to directly attach the tunze pump to the skimmer and removing the bubble diffuser entirely. Yes this will give you more bubble interaction in the bottom void which would increase your bioload filter performance - however and Yes it will make more bubbles in the sump. But if you have a bubble trap in your sump this is not a problem.

I have the original boxes for everything.

Looking for local pick up/delivery.

Selling price $300.

Thank you for your interest.
