I am looking for a new skimmer that can replace both my Tunze 9010 skimmer ($327) and MRC FMC-415 media reactor ($125). My current filtration system keeps the water column of my 75-gallon aquarium crystal clear. It is relatively free of:
• Particulate organic matter (POM),
• Dissolved organic compounds (DOC), and
• Yellowing compounds (Gelbstoff).
What skimmer can skim the above without additional media or algal filtration?
In other words, the new skimmer must duplicate the crystal clear water quality produced by my current system. I am particularly interested in skimming Gelbstoff which is now filtered by my carbon media.
It would be nice if we can keep the price of the new skimmer to no more than the combined price ($452) of my current skimmer and media reactor but really â€"œ price is no object if it can do what my current cheap system does! Thanks for your help!
