Tunze 240/2 Skimmer questions...

[deepbluesc]

Hey, All!!

I've been looking at a Tunze 240/2 protein skimmer, but I can't seem to find any info on it (except in German or French!!).

Can anyone fill me in on wheter this is a decent unit for a 90g tank? Upsides/downsides? States it's rated for up to 400g, but I know enough to know what that means.

Thanks in advance!

The 240/3 was discontinued 4 years ago, the last ones made were pretty good but earlier versions could be a disappointment. A 240/2 would have been made between 1996 and 2000 and I wouldn't recommend it as the pump is expensive to replace or repair as the driver is no longer made so a driver repair requires an upgrade to a different transformer and the latest 7240.27 driver.
