Skimmer advice

[kirsto71]

I am after a skimmer for a QT for my fish. The tank is around 85litres and has a regular water change of 10 litres every day. I am thinking about a Tunze 9001 or. Tunze 9004. The main issue with the 9004 is the tank is only 230mm deep and I am worried it may not be deep enough for the 9004. Which skimmer would you recommend and can you give some info on the minimum water depth for the 9004.

Thanks

Marc

Marc,

For this small size of aquarium and the low load of a typical QT tank as well as the frequent water changes, I think nothing more than a 9001 is needed. I also don't think a 9004 will work properly as at a minimum 225mm must be submerged and some space is needed under the skimmer.
