HOB skimmer choices

[Wett Hands]

Greetings and salutations !

I am currently window shopping for a HOB skimmer for my new 75 gal tank. It's going to be a FOWLR tank for now. I've been asking around and the one brand name that comes up often is TUNZE so here I am...

Anybody want to offer their 2 cents on models/pumps that would work well in a 75gal fish and live rock tank???

Thanks in advance for your opinions.
Cheers! :beer:

We do not make any HOB skimmers, our skimmers are for in tank use. The 9005 or 9010 would both work.

Well, I guess that explains why I wasn't able to find any on your website. Thanks for the clarification Roger

Well after more research and window shopping I decideed to get the Tunze 9010. And I get an email saying ther are out of stock and it's back ordered. :furious: I wonder how long it'll take.

(sigh) :sad2:

I ordered mine from MarineDepot and they told me it was on backorder and would probably come in within 3 - 4 weeks. However, after 4 days, I get and e-mail stating that it was shipped out to me! YES! You may as well place your order and hope for the best.

same thing for me, so I went crazy I got the next model up: the 9015. works great, I have a 75G too ... you won't be sorry with any of the models ...

They do come in but we are a bit behind demand I agree with 808-340 and jvlz73, place the order and it will come sooner rather than later.
